Mira’s activities are overseen by Iran-based, U.S.-designated Hizballah finance facilitator Ali Qasir, and the profits from Mira’s sales are ultimately shared with Hizballah. U.S.-designated Hizballah finance financial officials Muhammad Qasir and Muhammad Amir Alchwiki (Alchwiki) have used Mira to conduct commercial activity. Ibrahim Talal al-Uwayr (al-Uwayr) is the CEO and owner of Mira under the alias Ibrahim Agaoglu and works with Muhammad Qasir and Alchwiki to direct Mira’s trading activities.

Ibrahim Talal al-Uwayr is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, Mira.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned three entities and one individual located in Lebanon and Türkiye for providing critical financial support to an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and Hizballah financial network. These entities have generated hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of revenue from selling Iranian commodities, including to the Syrian government. These commodity sales provide a key source of funding for the IRGC-QF and Hizballah’s continued terrorist activities and support to other terrorist organizations throughout the region.
“Today’s action underscores our resolve to prevent the IRGC-QF and its proxy terrorist groups from exploiting the international trading system to fund their destabilizing activities,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “The United States will continue to take action to expose and disrupt these illicit schemes.”
