Australia has reimposed targeted financial sanctions and travel bans on 19 Iranian individuals and 57 entities for their role in Iran\u2019s nuclear and missile programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These sanctions were previously imposed under United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2231 and will now be listed under Australia\u2019s autonomous sanctions framework. This is consistent with the approach taken by international partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, a further three individuals and 11 entities were listed, due to their association with persons or entities sanctioned under UNSC Resolution 2231.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Albanese Government is working deliberately and strategically to apply pressure on the Iranian regime for failing to uphold its international obligations, including its nuclear-related commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran\u2019s proliferation of ballistic and cruise missiles raises tensions in an already volatile region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran must cease its escalatory actions in its nuclear program and recommit to full compliance with its nuclear-related commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes reversing all steps away from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency to completely verify Iran\u2019s peaceful use of nuclear technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These sanctions demonstrate Australia\u2019s commitment to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and determination to work with our international partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
