On 29 September 2025, following the re-imposition of the United Nations nuclear-related sanctions on Iran in line with United Nations Security Council 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. |

On 30 July 2026, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2026/1866, introducing a derogation to export, transfer, sell or supply certain goods and software for use in Iran which are needed for specific purposes, in particular for the processing of visa applications, of diplomatic representations of the Union and Member States, including delegations, embassies and missions, in Iran. |

Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 is replaced by the following:
‘Article 7
1. Without prejudice to Article 1b of Regulation (EU) No 359/2011, the competent authorities may grant, under such terms and conditions as they deem appropriate, an authorisation for a transaction referred to in Article 2(1) or assistance or brokering services referred to in Article 5(1) of this Regulation, provided that the goods and technology, assistance or brokering services are:
|
(a) |
for food, agricultural, medical or other humanitarian purposes; or |
|
(b) |
concerning dual-use goods and technology as listed in Annex I or the provision of technical or financial assistance related to the goods and technology listed in Annex I, necessary for official purposes of diplomatic representations of the Union and Member States, including delegations, embassies and missions, in Iran. |
1a. A derogation under paragraph 1 may be granted only:
|
(a) |
if, in those cases where the transaction concerns goods or technology contained in the Nuclear Suppliers Group or Missile Technology Control Regime lists, the Sanctions Committee has determined in advance and on a case-by-case basis that the transaction would clearly not contribute to the development of technologies in support of Iran’s proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities, or to the development of nuclear weapon development delivery systems; and |
|
(b) |
in respect of dual use goods and technology covered by Regulation (EU) 2021/821, without prejudice to the authorisation requirements set out in that Regulation. |
