Background
Mohammadreza Ashrafi Ghehi is an Iranian national (date of birth 13 December 1978, national ID 0067816509) designated by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control on 11 May 2026 as part of Operation Economic Fury. He was added to the Specially Designated Nationals list under OFAC's Iran sanctions programme.
Ashrafi Ghehi was named in OFAC's 11 May SDN round alongside Samad Fathi Salami and Ahmad Mohammadi Zadeh as individuals connected to the IRGC's oil-logistics network. The round, titled 'Economic Fury Ramps Up Pressure on Iran's IRGC Oil Operations', targeted the network responsible for moving sanctioned Iranian crude through shell company chains in the UAE, Hong Kong, and Oman.
Designation means US persons are prohibited from transacting with him and his assets subject to US jurisdiction are frozen. The SDN listing is the principal public record for this individual; minimal additional open-source biographical material is available outside the OFAC release.
