The EO 13902 sector determination simultaneously covering five named Iranian economic sectors — aviation, digital assets, gold, shipping, and technology — is the broadest single-day expansion of EO 13902 sectoral designation authority and marks a sharp maximum-pressure escalation targeting Iran's core export industries; no comparable multi-sector determination appears in the 90-day baseline.
Treasury published a determination pursuant to EO 13902 identifying the aviation, digital asset, gold, shipping, and technology sectors of the Iranian economy as subject to sanctions authority, enabling future targeting of persons who knowingly operate in those sectors.
