The United States, United Kingdom, and Australia have coordinated a new series of sanctions targeting individuals and entities associated with Hamas and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The sanctions, as reported by the Treasury Department, include Fly Baghdad, an Iraqi airline, and its CEO for providing assistance to the IRGC's Quds Force, as well as three leaders and supporters of the Iraqi terrorist group Kata'ib Hezbollah and a business involved in laundering funds for the group. The sanctions also target financiers and trading partners of Kataib Hezbollah and the IRGC, including two entities that helped facilitate crypto transactions for Hamas. The U.S. has also sanctioned two of Fly Baghdad's aircraft. The UK and US have jointly announced asset freezes and travel bans on figures from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). This marks the fifth round of sanctions against key Hamas officials since an attack on Israel on October 7. The sanctions also encompass currency exchanges that have been identified as key funders for Hamas. Fly Baghdad has stated it will seek compensation through legal action in response to the sanctions.
