Which sanctions list is the Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions List?

• A. SDN List
• B. Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions List (Correct)
• C. Et al.
• D. Foreign Sanctions Evaders

Answer: (B)

OFAC uses multiple lists to identify who is blocked. The Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List is the broad, primary roster of people and entities with whom U.S. persons generally may not deal. For Iran specifically, there is a separate list called the Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions List. This one includes Iranian individuals and entities that are blocked under Iran-related authorities but are not on the SDN List. The name itself signals exactly what it is: a sanctions list focused on Iran that is distinct from the SDN List. So, when you see “Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions List,” you should recognize it as the Iran-related sanctions list that sits separately from the SDN List. Other options refer to different lists or broader categories and do not match the specific Iran-focused, non-SDN designation.
