A Hong Kong company has become one of the latest entities sanctioned by the United States for allegedly supporting Iran’s ballistic missile programme.
Hong Kong-based Super Sources Industrial and its director and sole owner Wang Chao were among those included in a fresh round of sanctions involving six individuals and 12 companies announced by the US Treasury on Wednesday.
They were accused of supporting Iran’s oil industry and nuclear programme.
According to Hong Kong’s Companies Registry, Super Sources Industrial was incorporated in August 2019 as a private company limited by shares and located in Tsim Sha Tsui. The record also shows Yungtai Business (HK) Limited was registered as the company secretary at the same address.
The two companies did not have official websites.
Wang is also the majority owner of China-based Reso Trading Shanghai, which was also on the sanctions list. A legal representative of Reso Trading identified as Wang Piao, a Chinese national, was also targeted.
“Reso Trading has exported missile-applicable aramid fibre to Iran-based entities affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” the US Treasury Department said.
