The Treasury claimed that the Hong Kong entities procured components for Iranian firm Pishtazan Kavosh Gostar Boshra and its subsidiary, Narin Sepehr Mobin Isatis, which were known for supplying Iran’s drone and ballistic missile programmes and remained under US sanctions. “Today’s action, which is part of President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on the Iranian regime, aims to disrupt efforts by the Iranian entity Pishtazan Kavosh Gostar Boshra to reconstitute its procurement network and continue obtaining critical parts from foreign suppliers,” a statement by the State Department said.
