OFAC does not have any sanctions program against Afghanistan as a country, yet similar to U.N. there are many individuals in Afghanistan that are targeted by other conduct-based U.S. programs (Global Terrorism in this case). Notably, after the Taliban took over in 2021, Afghanistan became a country whose government was subject to the blocking sanctions of the United States. That effectively rendered many transactions with the country prohibited. The United States has issued general licenses to limit the unintended impact of the sanctions in Afghanistan, however, those general licenses do not allow all types of activities involving the Afghan governmental institutions, including the country's central bank which is itself subject to blocking sanctions.
