Iran Sanctions & Trade Observatory (ISTO)

“Iran Sanctions & Trade Observatory (ISTO) is an independent research institution exposing Iran’s global network of front companies and financial schemes used to bypass sanctions. Through research, intelligence gathering, and collaboration, ISTO reports on illicit financial flows, money laundering, and IRGC-linked covert trade. Our mission is to enhance transparency, strengthen enforcement, and inform stakeholders about Iran’s sanctions-evasion tactics, aiming to disrupt IRGC-backed operations and support a rules-based global order.”
