Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating one individual and eight entities, and identifying one vessel as blocked property, for their involvement in the procurement and transshipment of sensitive machinery for Iran’s defense industry. The vessel, SHUN KAI XING, owned by Hong Kong-based Unico Shipping Co Ltd, was carrying this machinery for OFAC-designated Rayan Roshd Afzar Company (RRA) and Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe, a company controlled by RRA executives. Mohsen Parsajam is the chairman of the board of directors and Farshad Hakemzadeh is the vice chairman of the board of directors of Iranian firm Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe, giving them authority to exercise control over the firm’s business operations. Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for being owned or controlled by, or acting or purporting to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, each of Mohsen Parsajam and Farshad Hakemzadeh. In late 2024, Panama-flagged bulk carrier SHUN KAI XING was carrying sensitive goods bound for Iran. RRA and Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe were Iran-based consignees listed on bills-of-lading of shipments aboard the SHUN KAI XING. China-based Futech Co Limited shipped the items to be sent to Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe aboard the SHUN KAI XING. Futech Co Limited has previously conducted multiple direct exports of proliferation-sensitive items, such as electronic cutting machines and integrated circuit parts, to Iran-based Rayan Fan Kav Andish.
