Where the entries added to the U.S. sanctions list are based. 4 series: Russia, China and Hong Kong, Iran, United Arab Emirates. Latest, 2026, year to date: Russia 21.0; China and Hong Kong 153.0; Iran 211.0; United Arab Emirates 128.0.

Counts entries by the countries of their addresses, nationality, citizenship or registration, so an entry tied to two of these countries appears in both lines. This is where the target sits, not which program it falls under: a Hong Kong company supplying Russia's military counts under China and Hong Kong. Only entries still on the list are counted, so earlier years are understated.
