The week dissected, 24–28 August 2026: 114 additions, 14 removals and 9 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists.
Who the entries concern: 46 persons, 53 companies and other legal entities, 6 vessels, 32 entries of other or unrecorded type. The busiest day was Tuesday 25 August with 131 changes. Most of the movement ran through OFAC SDN List (136 entries). By programme, OFAC's Iran programme (US-IRAN) led with 66 entries, ahead of OFAC's counter-terrorism programme (US-TERR) at 24.
For screening teams the type split is the work plan: person entries are name-and-date matching; legal-entity entries need ownership unwrapping before a match can be cleared; vessel entries reach into trade-finance and charter files.
