Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Corrigendum 267/2012 (OJ L88) [corr. 04/12/2012-2]

Belgian Financial Sanctions,

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Qods Force is the clandestine branch of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responsible for extraterritorial operations, and for exporting the Iranian Revolution through activities such as facilitating terrorist operations. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Qods Force provides arms, funding and paramilitary training to extremist groups, including the Taliban, Lebanese Hizballah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC). On June 1, 2023, United States Department of Treasury designated Shahram Poursafi for providing and attempting to provide material support on behalf of the Qods Force to a transnational murder plot. The plot involved targeting a former U.S. national security advisor —possibly in retaliation for the January 2020 death of IRGC-QF commander Qasem Soleimani.
