The United States on Thursday blacklisted Iraj Masjedi, Iran’s ambassador to Iraq, saying he has for years overseen the training and support of Iraqi militia groups which are responsible for attacks on US and coalition forces in Iraq.
“In his current capacity, Masjedi has exploited his position as the Iranian regime’s ambassador in Iraq to obfuscate financial transfers conducted for the benefit of the IRGC-QF,” Treasury said in a statement, referring to the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
