The European Union on Sept. 29 reimposed sanctions on Iran after the United Nations reinstated an arms embargo and other restrictions on the Islamic Republic.

“Today, the Council agreed to reimpose a number of restrictive measures in relation to Iran’s nuclear proliferation activities, that had then been suspended with the entry into force of the Joint Plan of Action (JCPoA or Iran nuclear deal) in 2015,” the Council of the EU said in a statement.
