🇬🇧 English

This Council Decision updates the existing EU sanctions framework against Iran by correcting a legal reference in the dual-use goods prohibition. Following the 2025 re-imposition of UN nuclear-related sanctions, the original reference to the repealed Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 is replaced with the current Regulation (EU) 2021/821. The prohibition on supplying dual-use items to Iran remains in force but is now accurately linked to the 2021 Dual-Use Regulation. Certain items in Category 5, Parts 1 and 2 of Annex I to the new regulation are explicitly excluded from this specific prohibition.
