UN sanctions on Iran ballistic missile program to expire

As of October 18, in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2231, all restrictions that were unfairly imposed on activities and transfers related to ballistic missiles to/from the Islamic Republic of Iran will end, the Iranian deputy foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani said on its X account.

Iran is no longer subject to any restrictions within the framework of the UN Security Council, Bagheri Kani said.

As of today, all restrictions imposed on individuals and entities on the 2231 list, including frozen assets, will end and the list will be removed from the United Nations website.

All restrictive measures and sanctions imposed against Iran at the national or regional level based on Resolution 2231 should be terminated, he also said.

Maintaining such restrictions or imposing new sanctions in this framework is a clear violation of the text of Resolution 2231, the Iranian diplomat underscored.
