Beyond the List Report cover

A WireScreen investigation connects entities sanctioned in 2026 for supporting Iranian weapons procurement to Chinese companies associated with a separate OFAC action three years earlier involving the supply of dual-use metals to Iran.

By tracing ownership, personnel, addresses, telephone numbers, and email domains, WireScreen maps a wider commercial network extending across Hong Kong, Tianjin, Beijing, and Inner Mongolia.

The analysis identifies numerous non-designated trading and resource companies connected to sanctioned actors, including firms with documented commercial ties to Iran and involvement in metallurgical ores and industrial chemicals.The report demonstrates what can remain hidden when analysis stops at a static sanctions list. It provides compliance teams and government investigators with additional companies, personnel, contact details, and corporate identifiers that can help trace the network’s reach and monitor how it evolves.

What the Report Reveals

  • The corporate links connecting two separate OFAC actions.
  • The non-designated companies and Iran-facing trade surrounding sanctioned actors.
  • The people and identifiers that can help investigators trace the network beyond the sanctions list.
