Overview

  • Foreign Minister Anita Anand announced amendments to the UN Iran Regulations to give domestic effect to the reinstated sanctions.
  • The measures include broad bans on exports and imports of nuclear, dual-use and ballistic-missile items, prohibitions on related technical and financial assistance, a comprehensive arms embargo, and service restrictions for Iranian vessels.
  • France, Germany and the United Kingdom triggered the snapback on August 28, leading to the full reinstatement of UN nuclear-related sanctions on September 28.
  • Canada cites Article 25 of the UN Charter as the legal basis for implementing binding Security Council decisions through regulations under the United Nations Act.
  • Canada urges Iran to meet its NPT obligations, restore full cooperation with the IAEA, and enter direct talks with the United States toward a durable nuclear agreement.
