Suriname: US imposes sanctions on Surinamese companies

The United States has imposed sanctions on three Surinamese companies due to their alleged trade links with companies in the Iranian oil sector.

Washington announced the sanctions against Strong Roots Provider, Glazing Future Management, and Engen Management after it imposed sanctions on companies operating in the Iranian oil sector following Iran's attack on Israel on October 1.

The US is imposing the sanctions under the spirit of the Stop Harboring Iranian Petroleum Act, which was passed as part of the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024.
