OFAC IRAN-EO13902 sanctions program

IRAN-EO13902 is one of the program codes OFAC attaches to entries on the Specially Designated Nationals list. As of 2026-07-24 it appears on 884 SDN entries. Designations under this program are made under Executive Order 13902 (Iran), Executive Order 13599 (Iran) and Executive Order 13224 (Terrorism).

What the IRAN-EO13902 code means on an SDN entry

OFAC does not maintain one list per sanctions program. It maintains one SDN list, and tags each entry with the program or programs it was designated under. An entry can carry several: of the 884 entries tagged IRAN-EO13902, 27 also carry at least one other program code.

The legal authorities OFAC records against these designations are:

• Executive Order 13902 (Iran)
• Executive Order 13599 (Iran)
• Executive Order 13224 (Terrorism)
• Executive Order 13662 (Ukraine)
• Executive Order 14024 (Russia)

That matters for screening: if you filter an SDN extract to a single program code you will silently drop entries that were designated under a different code but are blocked all the same. Screen the whole list, then use the program code to explain a hit — not to decide which entries to load.

The same data behind this page is available as a single unauthenticated GET. It checks a counterparty name against all SDN primary names and alternate identities, and returns a match list rather than a yes/no so you can log what matched and why:

The free tier allows 5 checks per day with no signup, which is enough to wire the call up and see the response shape. Production limits and the audit log are on the paid tiers; the API reference covers batch screening and the degraded flag you should alert on.
