# U.S. Sanctions Iran Weapons Procurement Network

The U.S. Departments of the Treasury and State announced sanctions against 13 individuals and entities accused of supporting Iran’s weapons procurement, including activity involving dual-use electronics, shipping, and aviation. The named parties include organizations and individuals based in or connected to Russia, China, Hong Kong, and Pakistan. The announcement identifies no contract award, solicitation, funding value, or procurement contact; its direct relevance to government buyers and contractors is potential sanctions and supply-chain exposure involving designated parties and their networks.

- Companies handling electronics, components, shipping, or aviation-related transactions should review counterparties and relevant supply-chain relationships against the announced designations before proceeding with affected business.
- U.S. procurement professionals and prime contractors can use the named entities—including Kavoshcom Asia R and D Group, EC Mojo Technology Co Limited, Cavalier Group, and MG-Flot LLC—as specific screening leads for due diligence on suppliers and intermediaries.
- This action creates compliance risk rather than a new contracting opportunity; the supplied signal provides no contract, solicitation, value, or deadline to pursue.
