On March 20, 2024, the United States announced sanctions targeting three procurement networks operating out of Iran, Türkiye, Oman, and Germany, accused of supporting Iran's ballistic missile, nuclear, and defense programs. These networks have been instrumental in procuring materials such as carbon fiber and epoxy resins, crucial for missile development. The sanctions, as stated by the U.S. Treasury and echoed by the Department of State, aim to curb Iran's ballistic missile proliferation and its involvement in ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. This move is part of broader efforts by the U.S. to address human rights abuses and military aggression, with similar export restrictions being imposed on Nicaragua.
