In a Federal Registers Notice (FRN) published on October 9, 2025, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced the addition of 26 entities and 3 addresses to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Entity List due to these entities being “determined by the U.S. Government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.”

These additions are being made due to “these companies divert U.S.-origin items to Iran, including to parties on the BIS Entity List and on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List.”

This rule went into effect on October 8, 2025.
