One of Soleiman's chief goals was to acquire WMD missile systems that could threaten Israel and US installations.
When sanctions began, the IRGC used front companies to handle WMD acquisition.
Only one American business worked w them:

One of Soleiman's chief goals was to acquire WMD missile systems that could threaten Israel and US installations.
He assigned the job to his ally, Mohamed Bagher Ghalibaf.
When sanctions began, the IRGC used front companies to handle WMD acquisition.
Ghalibaf's two chief deputies--the Darvishi brothers--set up one of the biggest and most successful of these front companies, Azarpassillo.
Azarpassillo's primary external partner was Azerbaijan's Minister of Transport, Ziya Mammadov.
Mammadov sent his son, Anar, to the U.S. in 2010 to develop business ties with U.S. companies. He spent lavishly but got no takers. It was well-known that the Mammadovs laundered money for the IRGC and were wildly corrupt.
Only one American business worked with them.
The Trump Organization.
Ivanka worked extremely closely with the Mammadovs on their absurd tower.
In 2015, the Trump Org acknowledged they knew the Mammadovs were likely laundering money for the IRGC. They kept working with them until after the 2016 election.
