Full statement:

"Today, the United States is sanctioning the Foxtrot Network, a transnational criminal organization, and its fugitive leader, Rawa Majid. The Foxtrot Network is a notorious criminal gang based in Sweden and a prominent drug trafficking organization in the region. The group is involved in arms trafficking and contributes to rising violence in Northern Europe, including shootings, contract killings, and assaults.

The Iranian regime leveraged the Foxtrot Network to carry out attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe, including the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, in January 2024. Majid has specifically cooperated with the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which is sanctioned by the United States under multiple authorities. Majid is also the subject of numerous Swedish charges related to narcotics and firearms.

The Department of State, together with the Department of the Treasury, will continue to expose and impose costs on the Iranian regime for its malign activities as part of the Trump Administration’s renewed maximum pressure campaigns. This action also underscores our commitment to hold accountable those individuals and organizations who work in conjunction with the regime in Tehran to undermine our nation’s safety and security and our global partners.

The Foxtrot Network is being sanctioned pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13581, as amended by E.O. 13863, for being a foreign person that constitutes a significant transnational criminal organization. Majid is being sanctioned for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, the Foxtrot Network. As a result, all property and interests in property of the designated persons in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked"

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Kursk Oblast of Western Russia earlier today, meeting with Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov and other senior military leaders, in what appears to be an attempt at a “victory tour” following the controlled-withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from most of their positions across region over the last few days. During the visit, Putin was seen wearing a Russian military uniform for the first time publicly since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, likely to signal his vicinity to the “frontline” of the war to the southwest.
