Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations
What happened
The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is indefinitely suspending five general licenses. These licenses were previously issued under the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations. This action was taken to align with changes in US foreign policy toward Iran, and was signed by Donald Trump.
Why it matters
The indefinite suspension of these licenses means that certain transactions with Iran, previously permitted, are no longer authorized. This change reflects the US government's updated foreign policy position regarding Iran.
