Fact Sheet: Designation of Iranian Entities and 
Individuals for Proliferation Activities. July 8, 2008. 
 
The U.S. Government is taking actions today to further 
U.S. efforts to counter Iran's pursuit of technology 
that could enable it to develop nuclear weapons and the 
missiles capable of delivering them.   Today, the 
Departments of State and Treasury designated under 
Executive Order 13382 six Iranian individuals and five 
entities of proliferation concern.  These actions 
provide additional information that will help financial 
institutions in the United States and worldwide protect 
themselves from deceptive financial practices employed 
by Iranian entities and individuals engaged in or 
supporting proliferation. 
 
All UN Member States are required to freeze the assets 
of entities and individuals listed in the Annexes of UN 
Security Council resolutions 1737, 1747 and 1803, as 
well as assets of entities owned or controlled by them, 
and to prevent funds or economic resources from being 
made available to them. 
 
Effect of Today's Actions 
 
As a result of our actions today, all transactions 
involving any of the designees and any U.S. person will 
be prohibited and any assets the designees may have 
under U.S. jurisdiction will be frozen.  Noting the UN 
Security Council's grave concern over Iran's nuclear and 
ballistic missile program activities, the United States 
also encourages all jurisdictions to take similar 
actions to ensure full and effective implementation of 
UN Security Council Resolutions 1737, 1747, and 1803.

designees and any U.S. person, and freeze any assets the 
designees may have under U.S. jurisdiction.
