[IsraelTimes] Announcement signals counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries amid tensions over Erdogan’s threat to launch an offensive against the Syrian Kurds
The US said Thursday it has worked with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
 ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
to impose sanctions on four people and two firms that it says provided financial support to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.
The announcement signaled counterterrorism cooperation between the two countries at a time of tensions over efforts to fight Islamic State.
Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has threatened an offensive into Syria against Kurdish bandidos turbans he has blamed for a deadly November 13 bombing in Istanbul, which has alarmed US officials. Kurdish groups have been allied with the US in the fight against Islamic State group and have warned that a Ottoman Turkish escalation would threaten anti-IS efforts.
In its announcement Thursday, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said it was imposing sanctions on an Iraqi national living in Turkey, Abd Al Hamid Salim Ibrahim Ismail Brukan al-Khatuni, his sons and the Ottoman Turkish money service firm where they all worked. They are accused of facilitating financial transfers to and from Iraq and Syria for the benefit of the Islamic State.
Another individual, Lu’ay Jasim Hammadi al-Juburi, an Islamic State financial administration official also living in Turkey, was accused of using the firm Sham Express, a company founded in 2020 by Brukan al-Khatuni, to transfer funds to the Islamic State.
Thursday’s sanctions freeze and block any potential transactions with US entities and prevent Americans from doing business with them.
The State Department noted that Turkey is concurrently freezing the assets of those targeted by the US sanctions.
Brian Nelson, the Treasury’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence said Thursday’s actions reaffirm "Treasury’s commitment to degrade ISIS’s ability to operate globally."
The actions come after two November rounds of sanctions were imposed on people and firms in Africa who it says have provided financial or material support to Islamic State.
The Islamic State group is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.
In November, Defense Department officials warned that they were "deeply concerned" about escalating IS activities in Iraq, Syria and Turkey. "This escalation threatens the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS’s years-long progress to degrade and defeat ISIS," said Pentagon Press Secretary Brig Gen Patrick Ryder.
They included an Iraqi national living illegally in Turkey, Brukan al-Khatuni, his two sons and an associate, and two businesses they used to transfer money on behalf of the ISIS, also known as ISIS, between Turkey, Iraq and Syria, the Treasury Department said in a statement.
The head of the network targeted on Thursday, Brukan al-Khatuni, helped with foreign financing for the group in Iraq before moving to Turkey in 2016, where he helped transfer funds from Gulf-based donors and handled millions of dollars for the group, according to the Treasury Department.
