When a sanctioned or blocked party is involved, the focus is on the impact the party has on the deal itself. A transaction is described as having a transaction interest because the blocked party has an interest embedded in that deal—whether through ownership, proceeds, or other benefits tied to the transaction. This framing highlights why the transaction must be screened, blocked, or otherwise restricted under sanction rules.

Blocked Property and Blocked Entity refer to assets or the party itself, not the particular deal in which they participate. Rejected Transactions isn’t a formal term used to describe such deals. So the phrase that best captures the situation of a deal containing a blocked party’s involvement is Transaction Interest.
