[EU-IRN] EU sanctions against Iran JSON

Covers the EU's three sanctions regimes concerning Iran, targeting those responsible for serious human rights violations, persons and entities involved in Iran's nuclear and ballistic-missile programmes, and those involved in Iran's military support to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and to armed groups in the Middle East and the Red Sea region. Designated persons and entities are subject to an asset freeze, and natural persons to a ban on entry into or transit through the EU. After the UN snapback procedure was triggered, the Council re-imposed on 29 September 2025 the nuclear-related sanctions lifted in 2016, so designation-level measures under the non-proliferation regime again combine with country-wide restrictions, including an arms embargo, export controls on proliferation-sensitive and dual-use goods, import bans on Iranian crude oil, gas and petrochemical products, and wide-ranging banking, insurance, investment and transport restrictions. The human rights and military-support regimes additionally restrict exports of equipment usable for internal repression or telecommunications interception and of components for drones and missiles.
