The Iran Ledger

A public accountability record of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Data as of

06Do Not TouchData as of

A Do Not Touch list is a boycott and divestment screen, not a sanctions list. It names parties that no government has yet designated, but that this project’s research found sufficiently documented to warrant exclusion from portfolios, procurement and correspondent relationships while formal designation catches up. The model is Section 202 of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (CISADA), the federal statute that created the “scrutinized companies” category, and the state-level pension and procurement divestment statutes built on it: all of them trigger on documented conduct, not on a Treasury listing, because the two move at different speeds.

Two groups make up this screen. Twenty-five parties already sit on the Commerce Department’s BIS Entity List for the same conduct that would support an OFAC designation, and have not yet been added to it: the BIS-OFAC gap. Forty-three more are seeds developed from this project’s own entity investigations: documented links to the crackdown and sanctions-evasion apparatus that meet both gates of the evidentiary standard set out below.

68Names on the published screenEntered on the list August 10, 2026. This is the first publication of the screen.
25BIS–OFAC gap partiesOn Commerce’s Entity List with a Federal Register citation; not matched onto Treasury’s SDN list.
43Gated seedsDeveloped from this project’s entity investigations and cleared under both gates.
Both gates, strictest wins

Gate 1: undesignated. A five-list re-screen across the US, EU, UK, Canada and Australia sanctions regimes must confirm the party carries no existing designation under any name variant.

Gate 2: tier standard. The supporting evidence must rest on a Tier 1 to 4 source. Secondary corroboration, commercial-intelligence and aggregator-only evidence fails this gate regardless of how it fares on Gate 1.

Removals. 10 names that an earlier verification pass had flagged were removed from this screen after the Phase 3 gate found each one already designated by at least one tracked jurisdiction under its official name; a corrected classification, not a clearance. Consistent with the both-gates rule, they are not named here; only the count is reported.
