These sanctioned individuals attempted to source and acquire weapons, specifically man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), on behalf of the IRGC.

These steps by Washington further implement UN sanctions against Iran, which were reimposed due to the country's failure to meet its nuclear obligations. UN Security Council Resolution 1929 requires member states to prevent the supply or transfer of conventional weapons, including man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS), to Iran.
