US imposes sanctions on companies over Iran’s oil trade

In the final days of President Joe Biden’s government, US Department of State, by intensifying its sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, imposed sanctions on Iran’s Ghezel Hesar Prison and institutions due to what was claimed to be their connection with Iran’s oil trade.
The Department of State has imposed fresh sanctions on entities that are engaged in transporting Iranian oil and alleged violations of human rights, IRNA reported.
The department levied bans on four entities that were said to have transported Iranian oil, and identified six vessels as their blocked property.
US Department of State announced in a statement that Washington is taking action to stem the flow of revenue that Iran uses to “support military groups abroad.”
According to the statement, Iran’s Ghezel Hesar Prison has been determined by the Secretary of State to be subject to section 106 of CAATSA.
Accordingly, Ghezel Hesar Prison is being listed by the Department of State and designated by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) pursuant to section 106 of CAATSA.
