On April 16, 2025, the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) re-issued and updated its Advisory for Shipping and Maritime Stakeholders on Detecting and Mitigating Iranian Oil Sanctions Evasion (“the Advisory”), originally issued in September 2019. The updated Advisory is part of OFAC’s implementation of the February 4, 2025 National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-2), which directs the Treasury Department to enact “maximum pressure” on Iran.
