On November 6, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's OFAC sanctioned 35 entities and individuals linked to Iran's shadow banking system, which facilitates sanctions evasion and terrorism funding. This action is part of a broader initiative called Economic Fury, aimed at disrupting financial networks that support Iran's military and terrorist activities. The sanctions come as Iranians protest for freedom and economic security, with the U.S. expressing support for these demonstrations. Key figures targeted include those involved in the regime's violent crackdown on protesters and the laundering of oil revenues through clandestine banking networks. The sanctions are intended to hold accountable those enabling the Iranian regime's oppressive actions and to protect U.S. interests and allies in the region.
