What changed
On 8 June 2026, the EU Council added two individuals and one entity to its sanctions list linked to Iran's military support for Russia's war in Ukraine and for armed groups in the Middle East, as well as actions threatening freedom of navigation. The regulation imposed asset freezes and travel bans on the newly listed parties. Note that this regulation has since been repealed, meaning it has likely been superseded by a subsequent or consolidated measure.
Who is affected
This primarily affects EU-based businesses, financial institutions, and individuals who may have any dealings with the newly designated persons or entity. EU operators are prohibited from making funds or economic resources available to anyone on the sanctions list.
What to look out for
→ It is worth checking the current EU sanctions list on EUR-Lex or the EU Sanctions Map to ensure no business partners or counterparties are listed; since this regulation has been repealed, you may want to review the replacing measure for the up-to-date list of designated persons.
