The U.S. Department of State has announced sanctions against two individuals and one entity for assisting Iran in acquiring man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS). The targets include Mohammed Ali Tolibov, CEO of Belarus-based Armory Alliance; Nigeria's Vanguard Tactical Supply Limited; and Russian national Alisher Domullodzhanov. The State Department stated that the action aims to disrupt Iran's military procurement networks and support the enforcement of the United Nations arms embargo on Iran.
