            COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (CFSP) 2025/1971
         
of 29 September 2025
         
implementing Decision 2010/413/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Iran


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 31(2) thereof,


Having regard to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP of 26 July 2010 concerning restrictive measures against Iran and repealing Common Position 2007/140/CFSP (1), and in particular Article 23(1) thereof.


Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

Whereas:







(1)


On 26 July 2010, the Council adopted Decision 2010/413/CFSP.












(2)


On 14 July 2015, China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States, supported by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (‘the High Representative’), reached an agreement with Iran on a long-term comprehensive solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. The full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (‘JCPOA’) was to ensure the exclusively peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear programme, and provide for the comprehensive lifting of all nuclear-related sanctions.












(3)


On 20 July 2015, the United Nations Security Council (‘UNSC’) adopted Resolution 2231 (2015) endorsing the JCPOA, urging its full implementation in accordance with the timetable established in the JCPOA and providing for actions to take place in accordance with the JCPOA.












(4)


On 20 July 2015, the Council welcomed and endorsed the JCPOA and committed itself to abiding by its terms and to following the agreed implementation plan. The Council also fully supported Resolution 2231 (2015).












(5)


On 14 January 2020, the High Representative as Coordinator of the Joint Commission of the JCPOA (‘the Coordinator’) received a letter from the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom referring a matter concerning the implementation of Iran’s commitments under the JCPOA to the Joint Commission for resolution through the Dispute Resolution Mechanism, as set out in paragraph 36 of the JCPOA. On the same day, the Coordinator issued a statement indicating that he would oversee the Dispute Resolution Mechanism process (the ‘process’).












(6)


On 24 January 2020, the Coordinator issued a statement indicating that, pursuant to the process, he had undertaken extensive bilateral and collective consultations and that all JCPOA participants had reconfirmed their determination to preserve the JCPOA, which was in the interest of all. The Coordinator indicated that, notwithstanding differences on modalities, there was agreement that more time was needed due to the complexity of the issues involved. The timeline for the process was therefore extended. All parties involved agreed to pursue expert-level discussions addressing concerns regarding nuclear implementation, as well as the wider impact of the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA and its re-imposition of sanctions against Iran, concerning which all JCPOA participants had expressed regret.












(7)


On 21 December 2020, in a Joint Ministerial Statement on the JCPOA, the JCPOA participants re-emphasised their commitment to preserving the agreement and stressed their respective efforts in that regard. The statement indicated that the Ministers had discussed how full and effective implementation of the JCPOA by all remained crucial, as well as the need to address ongoing implementation challenges, including on nuclear non-proliferation and sanctions-lifting commitments. The Ministers agreed to continue their dialogue in order to ensure full JCPOA implementation by all sides. The Ministers acknowledged the prospect of a return of the United States to the JCPOA and underlined their readiness to positively address that return in a joint effort.












(8)


From April 2021 to August 2022, the Coordinator led diplomatic talks to negotiate the return of the United States to the JCPOA and to ensure the full and effective implementation of the JCPOA by Iran. Despite those efforts, including several meetings of the Joint Commission during that period, it was not possible to reach an agreement.












(9)


On 14 September 2023, the Coordinator received a letter from the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom related to the implementation of the JCPOA. The Foreign Ministers stated that Iran was in non-compliance since 2019 and that they considered that this had not been resolved through the process. They expressed their intention not to take steps regarding the lifting of further sanctions on 18 October 2023, the JCPOA Transition Day. On the same day, the Coordinator issued a statement indicating that that he had circulated the ministerial letter to the other JCPOA participants, and that he would consult with all JCPOA participants on the way forward.












(10)


On 6 October 2023, the Coordinator issued a statement indicating that following consultations with JCPOA participants, the issue concerning the implementation of Iran’s commitments under the JCPOA remained unresolved given the diverging views expressed.












(11)


On 16 October 2023, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2023/2195 (2), which amended Decision 2010/413/CFSP. The Council considered that the Union had valid grounds for maintaining after JCPOA Transition Day the restrictive measures against certain persons and entities listed in Annexes I and II to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP and Annexes VIII and IX to Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 (3). Therefore, the names of those persons and entities were transferred from Annex I to Council Decision 2010/413/CFSP to Annex II to that Decision and from Annex VIII to Council Regulation (EU) No 267/2012 to Annex IX to that Regulation.












(12)


The Council further considered that the Union had valid grounds for maintaining after JCPOA Transition Day the restrictive measures on financial messaging services, related to the transport sector, related to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities and associated services, on metals and associated services, on software and associated services, and on arms and associated services.












(13)


The Council also considered that the Union had valid grounds for not terminating after JCPOA Transition Day the restrictive measures, which were suspended on JCPOA Implementation Day by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1863 (4).












(14)


On 28 August 2025, the Coordinator and the President of the UNSC received a letter from the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and the United Kingdom related to the implementation of the JCPOA. Through this letter, the Foreign Ministers notified the UNSC that, based on factual evidence, they believed Iran to be in significant non-performance of its commitments under the JCPOA, thereby opening the procedure to reinstate the UN sanctions lifted under UNSC Resolution 2231 (2015), in line with paragraph 11 of UNSC Resolution 2231 (2015).












(15)


On 27 September 2025, the UNSC did not adopt a new resolution to continue lifting sanctions within 30 days of the notification of 28 August 2025. Therefore, in line with the provisions of paragraph 37 of the JCPOA, the provisions of UNSC Resolutions 1696 (2006), 1737 (2006), 1747 (2007), 1803 (2008), 1835 (2008) and 1929 (2010) are to be re-imposed.












(16)


Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/413/CFSP should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
Annexes I and II to Decision 2010/413/CFSP is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Decision.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
