Holding
The Department of State's designation of Babak Zanjani's financial-evasion network places American national-security interests first (Article I), applies pressure rather than appeasement against a hostile regime the United States calls "the world's leading state sponsor of terror" (Article XVI), and enforces sanctions law against an illicit-finance operation propping up the IRGC (Article XVIII). Scored under the default 70/30 weighting as an official communication whose factual claims are assessed. No Automatic Fail is triggered: the action sanctions a foreign regime's enablers and extends no foreign aid. Tier 1 = 87, Tier 2 = 83, Final = 86 — America First.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0936 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
