Fundamental analysis:

On September 14, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced sanctions on 10 individuals and 2 entities, and the property of the sanctioned objects in the United States will be frozen. The individuals and entities identified are reported to be affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The U.S. Treasury Department said the sanctions were imposed because of their participation in malicious cyber behavior, including ransomware campaigns, that "directly threaten the physical security and economies of the United States and other countries."
