UK Introduces Legislation for Tougher Sanctions on Iran Over Nuclear Program
The UK government has published legislation imposing tougher sanctions on Iran to curb its nuclear program and hostile activities. The measures include restricting Iran's access to the British financial system, broadening trade bans to cover more goods, technology, and services, and prohibiting Iranian aircraft from landing in Britain unless exemptions apply. These sanctions aim to restore restrictions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal and follow the reimposition of U.N. sanctions via a snapback mechanism triggered by Britain, France, and Germany.
