Rostam Shahmari involved in the procurement of proliferation-sensitive material for proscribed elements of Iran’s nuclear and other military weapons programs. Shahmari is the managing director of Pishro Mobtaker Peyvand (PMP), who managed procurement activities on behalf of the company, including procurements in the interest of TESA. PMP procured resin, hardener, and accelerator on behalf of TESA and resin on behalf of Kalaye Electric Company (KEC).
The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated TESA on November 21, 2011, and KEC on February 16, 2007, pursuant to E.O. 13382. TESA and KEC are subordinate to AEOI and routinely collaborate on projects in support of AEOI, which itself is designated pursuant to E.O. 13382. AEOI is the main Iranian organization responsible for research and development activities in the field of nuclear technology, including Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program and experimental laser enrichment of uranium program.
Shahmari and PMP are being designated pursuant to E.O. 13382 for having provided, or attempted to provide, financial, material, technological or other support for, or goods or services in support of, AEOI, a person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to E.O. 13382.
These networks have procured carbon fiber, epoxy resins, and other missile-applicable goods for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force Self Sufficiency Jihad Organization (IRGC ASF SSJO), Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL), other U.S.-designated entities in Iran’s defense industrial base, and Iran Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA), which is linked to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).
“Through complex covert procurement networks, Iran seeks to supply rogue actors around the world with weapons systems that fuel conflict and risk countless civilian lives,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “The United States will continue to use our tools to disrupt these networks and hold accountable those countries that would help proliferate Iran’s drones and missiles.”
