Sanctions Classified by Officially

Statutory guidance for the Iran sanctions regime, plus a summary of its purposes, scope and prohibitions.

The Iran (Sanctions) Regulations 2023, and certain other regulations, are in force to meet the UK’s policy objectives.  

This summary gives a quick overview of the sanctions in place under the regime. It is not comprehensive and is not a replacement for the statutory guidance or the regulations themselves. 

  • sanctions in respect of goods and technology which might be used for internal repression   
  • sanctions in respect of monitoring and interception of telecommunications   
  • sanctions in respect to goods and technology of strategic concern 

    • The UK Sanctions List tells you who is designated under the regime and which sanctions have been applied to them. A designated person can be an individual, a business or an organisation.  

    The statutory guidance lists in detail the sanctions that can apply in respect of designated persons, including: 

  • an asset freeze on their funds and other assets 
  • making available funds or economic resources to them or for their benefit 

    • Under this regime, ships that are specified can also be subject to sanctions. 

    You must not export or otherwise supply or transfer to Iran or for use in Iran, or to a person connected with Iran certain goods in these categories (this is not an exhaustive list): 

  • internal repression goods and technology
  • interception and monitoring goods and technology

    • Related financial services, brokering services and technical assistance may also be subject to sanctions. 

    You must not directly or indirectly provide interception and monitoring services to or for the benefit of the Government of Iran.
