Project

Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program: Countering Iran’s Ballistic Missile Program

This project works to counter the Islamic Republic of Iran’s acquisition of technology and materials related to its ballistic missile programs. Program activities include:

  1.  Training government entities, such as financial intelligence units and the private sector to identify Iranian weapons of mass destruction (WMD) procurement networks and implement counterproliferation finance controls;
  2.  Working with port operators and others to identify and deny services to sanctioned Iranian vessels;
  3.  Training suppliers of key technologies to enhance their systems to protect proliferation-sensitive research, data, and intellectual property, identify gaps in cybersecurity, enhance their ability to detect network intrusions, and secure networks against Iranian cyber actors;
  4.  Assisting partner countries to adopt public-private sector cooperation and utilize Know-Your-Customer due diligence to prevent Iran from acquiring technology to advance its ballistic missile program;
  5. Engaging aviation insurers, inspectors, international routers, freight forwarders, cargo storage agents, fueling technicians, maintenance providers, and government partners to recognize and prevent Iranian transport of WMD technology via civilian airlines; and
  6.  Producing reports based on rigorous open-source and commercially available information to identify case studies, typologies, and red flags for capacity-building purposes that illustrate evolving Iranian sanctions evasion practices.
