The US Department of the Treasury has released a report on sanctions evasion schemes that, according to the department, Iran used to obtain materials needed to produce drones. The document first mentions two companies registered in Ukraine that, according to the American side, were part of the supply chain to Iran.
According to the US Department of the Treasury, Iranian procurement agent Bahram Tabibi used front companies GK Imperativ Ukraina LLC and Ekofera LLC to purchase aerospace materials - in particular, attitude indicators and magnetometers - for the company HESA, which produces drones.
"Batoul Shafiei from Iran facilitated the receipt of payments from HESA by GK Imperativ and Ekofera, as well as the shipment of cargo to Ekofera for HESA in Iran. Iranian citizen Saeed Pahlavani Nejad acted as an intermediary between Ukrainian front companies and HESA and ensured the sale of generators, engines, position indicators, sensors and other equipment to the company," the report states.
All of the individuals and companies named are on the US sanctions list.
"Tabibi, GK Imperativ, Ekofera, Shafiei and Nejad are listed pursuant to Executive Order 13382 for providing or attempting to provide financial, material, technological or other support to HESA," the US Department of the Treasury said.
The European Union had previously approved sanctions against Iran for the transfer of missiles to russia.
