Gate.io News reports that on the 29th, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that, as part of the “Economic Fury Action,” multiple individuals and entities related to Iran were added to a new sanctions list in order to continue applying economic pressure on Iran. The U.S. Department of the Treasury said that its Office of Foreign Assets Control, in coordination with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the FBI Los Angeles Division, carried out actions against a procurement network located in Iran. The procurement network is suspected of “impersonation and fraud against U.S. businesses,” and it procures goods for Iran’s Ministry of Defense and armed forces, among other users subject to U.S. sanctions. On the same day, according to information from Iran, the Office of Foreign Assets Control released this round of sanctions targets, including 8 individuals and 5 entities.

Impersonating identities to scam American companies, Iran's move has a bit of a spy thriller vibe.

The US sanctions list keeps getting longer, and Iran's procurement websites are even creating fake identities. They're quite resourceful.

The name "Economic Rage Action" sounds like a game DLC.

Eight people, five entities—Is this a targeted strike or a broad net?

It's OFAC again, feels like this organization is working year-round to blacklist people.
