US sanctions on IRGC include loopholes for foreigners — report

The United States will grant various exemptions to foreign states, businesses, and humanitarian organizations engaging with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, thus averting automatic US sanctions on these entities, Reuters reports, citing three current and three former US officials.

The US will still be permitted to sanction any state or organization that provides “material support” to the paramilitary group, the report says.

Earlier this month, Washington designated IRGC a terrorist organization.
