Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Listed Persons’ U.S. Property Blocked
On June 2, 2026, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added individuals (including Amir Hossein Rad, DOB 21 Mar 1986) and entities (including NOBITEX, WALLEX, BITPIN, and RAMZINEX) to the SDN List. All property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of these listed persons are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
Certain Designees Subject to Secondary Sanctions
OFAC notes that some of the designated individuals and entities (for example, Amir Hossein Rad and NOBITEX) are labeled “Subject to Secondary Sanctions” under section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224 (as amended). That designation signals secondary sanctions risk tied to dealings with those designees.
Some Names Removed; Property Unblocked
OFAC also published that one or more persons have been removed from the SDN List and that their property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction have been unblocked, with the action issued on June 2, 2026.
