The United States has imposed sanctions on an Indian company for allegedly supporting Iran’s missile and drone development programs. The US Treasury Department announced that Farmlane Pvt. Ltd., based in Chandigarh, India, was among 32 companies and individuals sanctioned for having ties with a network that supplies materials to Iran’s weapons program.
Although Farmlane was not directly accused of supplying raw materials for missiles, US authorities stated that one of its directors, Marco Klinge, played a key role in the network. Klinge, a German national operating from the UAE, was allegedly involved in facilitating supplies from Chinese vendors to Iran. The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) confirmed his involvement.
Under the latest sanctions, Farmlane Pvt. Ltd. has been blocked from accessing the US financial system, and any assets the company holds in the United States will be immediately frozen.
According to US Deputy State Department Spokesperson Tommy Pigott, these actions are part of Washington’s broader effort to reimpose United Nations sanctions on Iran, following its violation of the 2015 nuclear deal. The US reaffirmed that Iran’s nuclear and missile ambitions pose a serious global threat.
Treasury Under Secretary John Hurley said, “Under President Donald Trump’s direction, we are taking decisive action to end Iran’s nuclear threat. We expect the international community to fully enforce the UN sanctions and isolate Iran from the global financial system.”
The sanctions list also includes companies and individuals from Germany, Ukraine, Türkiye, China, Hong Kong, and Iran, all accused of running multi-level procurement networks that assist Iran’s missile and drone production.
