The Council has agreed to reimpose a number of restrictive measures in relation to Iran's nuclear proliferation activities, that had then been suspended with the entry into force of the Joint Plan of Action (JCPoA or Iran nuclear deal) in 2015. The decision was taken after the reintroduction of the UN sanctions, following the UN Security Council’s decision not to extend the lifting of sanctions on Iran. This occurred after France, Germany and the United Kingdom invoked the “snapback” mechanism foreseen in the JCPoA.
The measures reintroduced include both those adopted by the UN Security Council since 2006, and EU autonomous measures. The sanctions comprise travel bans and asset freezes as well as economic and financial sanctions, covering the trade, financial and transport sectors.
