财政部根据《第13871号行政命令》（Executive Order [E.O.)]13871），进一步将16家活跃在伊朗金属行业的公司列入制裁名单。根据《第13871号行政命令》第1条第(a)(i)项条款，伊朗的帕萨加德钢铁集团（Pasargad Steel Complex），以及Vian钢铁联合公司（Vian Steel Complex）、吉兰钢铁集团公司（ Gilan Steel Complex Company）、Khazar钢铁公司（Khazar Steel Co.）、South Rouhina钢铁联合公司（South Rouhina Steel Complex）、Yazd工业建筑轧钢厂（Yazd Industrial Constructional Steel Rolling Mill）、West Alborz钢铁联合公司（West Alborz Steel Complex）、Esfarayen工业联合体（Esfarayen Industrial Complex）、Bonab钢铁工业园区（Bonab Steel Industry Complex）、Sirjan伊朗钢铁公司（Sirjan Iranian Steel）、Zarand伊朗钢铁公司（Zarand Iranian Steel Company），及中东矿业工业发展股份有限公司（Middle East Mines and Mineral Industries Development Holding Company）因经营伊朗钢铁业，或者拥有或掌控伊朗钢铁业中的公司而被列为制裁对象。
此外，根据《第13871号行政命令》第1条第(a)(iv)项条款，由中东矿业工业发展股份有限公司所有或掌控的设在德国的GMI Projects Hamburg GmbH公司，设在英国的GMI Projects Ltd.公司，以及设在中国的World Mining Industry Co., Ltd.公司，被列入制裁名单。财政部同时还根据《第13871号行政命令》第1条第(a)(iv)项条款，将向帕萨加德钢铁集团及一名基于《第13871号行政命令》财产和财产利益被封冻的人提供了实质协助、赞助，或者金融、物质、技术支持，或者物资或服务支持的开封平煤新型炭材料科技有限公司列入制裁名单。
美国将继续大力针对伊朗政权，对逃避制裁者以及那些让该政权得以资助和实行其压制和恐怖恶毒计划的人实施制裁。

Press Statement
MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
JANUARY 5, 2021
Today, the United States is imposing sanctions on 17 companies and one individual in connection with Iran’s metals industry. The Iranian regime uses revenue from its metals sector to fund the regime’s destabilizing activities around the world.
The Department of State is designating China-based Kaifeng Pingmei New Carbon Materials Technology Co., LTD (KFCC) and Iran-based Hafez Darya Arya Shipping Company (HDASCO), a subsidiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL), pursuant to Section 1245(a)(1)(C)(i)(II) of the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012 (IFCA). Both companies knowingly sold, supplied, or transferred, directly or indirectly, graphite to or from Iran and such graphite was sold, supplied, or transferred to or from an Iranian person (South Kaveh Steel Company and Arfa Iron and Steel Company) included on the Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals List. The State Department is also imposing sanctions on Majid Sajdeh, who is a principal executive officer of HDASCO.
The Department of the Treasury further designated 16 companies that are active in Iran’s metal industry, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13871. Iran-based Pasargad Steel Complex, and Vian Steel Complex, Gilan Steel Complex Company, Khazar Steel Co., South Rouhina Steel Complex, Yazd Industrial Constructional Steel Rolling Mill, West Alborz Steel Complex, Esfarayen Industrial Complex, Bonab Steel Industry Complex, Sirjan Iranian Steel, Zarand Iranian Steel Company, and Middle East Mines and Mineral Industries Development Holding Company were designated pursuant to Section 1(a)(i) of E.O. 13871 for operating in the steel sector of Iran, or for owning or controlling companies that operate in the steel sector of Iran.
Additionally, Germany-based GMI Projects Hamburg GmbH, UK-based GMI Projects Ltd., and China-based World Mining Industry Co., Ltd. were designated pursuant to Section 1(a)(v) of E.O. 13871 for being owned or controlled by Middle East Mines and Mineral Industries Development Holding Company. Treasury is also concurrently designating KFCC pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) of E.O. 13871 for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services in support of, Pasargad Steel Complex, a person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 13871.
The United States will continue to aggressively implement sanctions with respect to the Iranian regime, those who evade sanctions, and others who enable the regime to fund and carry out its malign agenda of repression and terror.
