The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted a statement from the security services saying Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force, and the force’s Hamed Abdollahi and Abdul Reza Shahlai were named on the list.
The US Department of the Treasury in 2011 alleged that Soleimani, Abdollahi and Shahlai were linked to a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s former ambassador to the US and current foreign minister of the Kingdom, Adel Al-Jubeir, and imposed sanctions on them.
Saudi Arabia’s State Security Presidency and the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC), a US-Gulf initiative to stem finance to militant groups, sanctioned and designated nine individuals associated with the Afghan Taliban and their Iranian facilitators.
The center was established in May 2017 during US President Donald Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia.
This action is the third collective TFTC designation action since the center was launched.
It will result in the freezing of all assets, properties and related revenues of the named individuals in the designating countries and prohibits anyone from engaging in any transactions with them.
