Iran Conflict 2026Background
Kala Gozar Pars Shipping and Logistics Company runs shipping and logistics operations out of Iran. Its US export licences and government contracts were barred from 24 July 2026, the effective date the State Department gave for Public Notice 13090, the document that surfaced on 4 August as one of 21 listings issued under the Iran, North Korea and Syria Nonproliferation Act for weapons of mass destruction or missile-related transfers .
Public Notice 13090 is the only document naming the company. No fleet registry, ownership filing or shipping database entry corroborates the fleet, routes or ownership behind it, and the notice does not say what cargo or transfer triggered the listing.
An INKSNA designation carries less weight than an OFAC listing: it closes off US government contracts and export licences for the company but leaves its bank accounts, insurance cover and other assets untouched. How much that costs a firm depends on how much of its business already runs through US-linked finance.
