Not to be confused with…
The party below shares a name or other identifying details with the entity on this page, but our research indicates it is a different party and is NOT the party named in the listing above. It is shown here to help investigators avoid false matches. This is a protective clarification, not an allegation — nothing here implies any connection to the sanction, wanted status, or conduct described on this page.
- Special Industrial Groups of the Ministry of Defense (SIG)Separately listed entityIR
Also recorded as: Special Industries Organization (SIO) · SPECIAL INDUSTRIES GROUP (SIG) · Organization of Special Industries · MIDSPGIC Co
An Iranian Ministry of Defense-affiliated industrial organization (Special Industries Group), separately designated by the UK (OFSI/FCDO) under the Iran (Sanctions) (Nuclear) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, with a related EU FSF record (MIDSPGIC Co) carrying the same acronym alias.
Why the mix-up: Carries the acronym alias 'SIG', identical to the full name of the Canada-sanctioned vessel 'Sig'; a name-only screen for 'Sig' surfaces both this Iranian defense-industrial organization and the Russia-sanctioned tanker.
How to tell them apart:- Organization, not a vessel
- Iran nuclear-sanctions program vs. Russia/Ukraine shipping-sanctions program
- No shared identifiers (no IMO or registration-number overlap)
