The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has announced that the Australian Government is implementing changes to Australia’s sanctions on Iran in line with our international obligations under UN Security Council resolutions. The Australian Government will apply the changes to UN sanctions on Iran as required by UN Security Council Resolution 2231, although others will remain in place. The Australian Government has decided to suspend certain autonomous sanctions on Iran, while others will remain in place. For more information, please read DFAT’s Iran Frequently Asked Questions. The Iran sanctions website will be amended to reflect the changes to Australian sanction laws as they take legislative effect. Australia has lifted all nuclear-related economic and financial sanctions. However, some restrictions remain in force, including restrictions on the transfer of proliferation sensitive goods, the arms and ballistic missiles embargoes and the restrictive measures against some designated persons and entities.
