The US Department of the Treasury announced on Wednesday the designation of 37 front companies based in Germany, Malta, and Cyprus for being owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and its affiliates. The Treasury also sanctioned five Iranian individuals who were managing these companies. The designation would practically prevent the companies to process banking transactions or obtaining liability insurance needed to run their operations.
- Mohamad Talai, manager of the 11 Hamburg-based holding companies and an authorized representative of IRISL Europe.
- Mansour Eslami, co-manager of several of the Hamburg-based holding companies and also a director of IRISL, Maltta.
- Ahmad Sarkandi, the director of all IRISL front companies in Malta and director of IRISL UK, He also manages Lancelin Shipping, a Cyprus-based IRISL company.

They are being sanctioned for over 30 years now and they are doing what has to be done
They shall be sanctioned for another 30 years and they shall keep doing what they are doing.
Its just that every new generation will have to be told and this announcements and reformulations are just for their sake ... meaning a supposed media presure..
as always useless for those whoe k ow the details.

More impotent posturing by the Zionist muppet Stuart Levey. As if Iranian shipping companies are planning on opening branch offices in the US?
These are just desperate PR stunts, as the US well knows that Iran has 8 land borders, multi-modal transportation hubs connecting it with Europe, Asia and the Middle-East. It has complete access and control over the Persian Gulf. It has ports and shipping routes via Chah Bahar to the Indian Ocean and beyond. It has expanded railway and road routes to Central Asia and Europe. I wonder how stupid these AIPAC controlled Zionists in the bankrupt US "Treasury" really are? They are only hurting the bankrupt US economy by not engaging a huge educated Iranian market of over 75 million with growing purchasing power. The days of "sanctions" are LONG GONE as power has shifted to Asia. What are they going to do next? BLOCKADE CHINA?
