Background
On February 5, 2012, the President issued Executive Order 13599,
``Blocking Property of the Government of Iran and Iranian Financial
Institutions'' (the ``Order''). Section 1 (a) of the Order blocks, with
certain exceptions, all property and interests in property of the
Government of Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, that are in the
United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that
are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United
States person, including any foreign branch.
Section 7(d) of the Order defines the term ``Government of Iran''
to mean the Government of Iran, any political subdivision, agency, or
instrumentality
[[Page 55072]]
thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran, and any person owned or
controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, the Government of Iran.
The ITSR implements Section 1(a) of the Order. Section 560.304 of
the ITSR defines the term ``Government of Iran'' to include: ``(a) The
state and the Government of Iran, as well as any political subdivision,
agency, or instrumentality thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran;
(b) Any entity owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the
foregoing; (c) Any person to the extent that such person is, or has
been, since the effective date, acting or purporting to act, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any of the foregoing; and (d) Any other
person determined by the Office of Foreign Assets Control to be
included within [ (a) through (c)].'' Section 560.313 of the ITSR
further defines an ``entity owned or controlled by the Government of
Iran'' to include ``any corporation, partnership, association, or other
entity in which the Government of Iran owns a 50 percent or greater
interest or a controlling interest, and any entity which is otherwise
controlled by that government.''
On July 29, 2014, the Director of OFAC identified amended address
information of eight entities and new names and/or flagging information
of eight vessels previously identified as the Government of Iran or
property in which the Government of Iran has an interest that are
blocked pursuant to the Order and the ITSR and, accordingly, revised
the entries on OFAC's list of Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons to reflect the new information.
