On 29 September 2025, following the re-imposition of the United Nations (UN) nuclear-related sanctions on Iran in line with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2231 (2015), the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2025/1972 (4) which amended Decision 2010/413/CFSP and re-imposed all Union nuclear-related sanctions on Iran that had been suspended or terminated under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

(3)

In particular, the Council decided to re-impose the prohibition on the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer dual-use goods and technology listed in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 (5) for the use in, or benefit of, Iran.

(4)

On 20 May 2021, the Union adopted Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). That Regulation repealed Regulation (EC) No 428/2009.

(5)

Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly,
