The President has signed a <link http: www.treasury.gov resource-center sanctions programs documents iran_eo_02062012.pdf external link in new>new Executive Order blocking the property and interests in property of the Government of Iran and Iranian financial institutions.  The E.O. requires U.S. persons to block all property and interests in property of the Government of Iran (including the Central Bank of Iran), of all Iranian financial institutions, and of all persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury to be owned by, controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of any of those parties, when that property comes within the United States or within the possession or control of U.S. persons.  The E.O. builds upon the <link http: www.access.gpo.gov nara cfr waisidx_10 external link in new>Iranian Transactions Regulations (“ITR”) and does not apply to certain Iranian property that was blocked in November 1979 and made subject to transfer directives in 1981.  Transactions involving the Government of Iran or Iranian financial institutions that previously needed to be rejected, now must be blocked, except that OFAC has issued two General Licenses which, subject to certain exceptions, continue to allow transactions that were previously authorized by OFAC or not prohibited, including the transfer of personal remittances by U.S. depository institutions to and from Iran.  Please see the E.O., <link http: www.treasury.gov resource-center sanctions programs documents iran_gla.pdf external link in new>General License A and <link http: www.treasury.gov resource-center sanctions programs documents iran_glb.pdf external link in new>General License B, and “<link http: www.treasury.gov resource-center faqs sanctions pages external link in new>Frequently Asked Questions related to the Executive Order” for more information.

Users of OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List are encouraged to review <link http: www.treasury.gov resource-center faqs sanctions pages external link in new>this FAQ for guidance on how these changes affect the records on the SDN list.
