The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has published the names of certain individuals and ships that are now on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). This means their assets in the U.S. are blocked, and most U.S. citizens cannot conduct business with them. The decision is based on legal criteria met by these individuals or vessels, and relevant details will be available through OFAC's website. This action officially took place on March 20, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has made a list of people and ships whose U.S. assets are frozen, and most Americans cannot do business with them. This is because they did something that broke the rules, but the document doesn't say who they are or what rules they broke exactly.
