The US Treasury Department imposed sanctions Friday on a businessman accused of working with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to illegally generate revenue and smuggle weapons.
The sanctions freeze any US-held assets belonging to Amir Dianat, an Iranian-Iraqi national the Treasury Department says was involved in the shipment of missiles on behalf of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force and smuggling "lethal aid" from Iran to Yemen.
