On Monday, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on 71 more Iranian individuals and entities in response to Tehran's nuclear program, according to a statement from the British Foreign Office. Earlier today, the European Union reinstated wide-ranging sanctions on Iran, tied to nuclear weapons proliferation, reversing measures suspended under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), News.Az reports citing foreign media. The EU’s decision came after the UN Security Council voted against extending the suspension of sanctions, activating the “snapback” mechanism included in the JCPOA. They prohibit the import, purchase, and transfer of crude oil, natural gas, petrochemicals, and petroleum products, along with related services. Iranian cargo flights were barred from EU airports, while aircraft and vessels carrying prohibited goods or materials were denied maintenance and support services within the bloc.
