Sanctions Who is Left? Hundreds of entities removed from blacklists on Implementation Day Updated January 18, 2016 Iran and the P5+1 announced on January 16, 2016 that Iran had met its obligations under the terms of the nuclear agreement and would immediately receive a first round of sanctions relief. As a result, restrictions that had been imposed against Iran’s financial, transport, and energy sectors were lifted, and hundreds of entities – companies, individuals, banks, government organizations, and state-controlled ships and aircraft – were removed from blacklists maintained by the United Nations, European Union, and United States. However, hundreds of Iranian entities were not removed from blacklists on Implementation Day and remain subject to sanctions, particularly entities linked to Iran's ballistic missile program, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and the IRGC-Qods Force. According to U.N. Security Council resolution 2231, restrictions on Iran's conventional arms program, including arms imports and exports, apply for a further five years, and restrictions on Iran's missile program apply for a further eight years. Additional entities may be added to U.N. and other lists in response to Iranian actions that are found to violate the nuclear agreement, or resolution 2231. The United States demonstrated this by announcing new missile sanctions on the day after Implementation Day. The entities still sanctioned by the United Nations, the European Union, and the United States are listed below. Each entity’s name is linked to an Iran Watch profile of its activities, and the document related to the sanctions designation is linked as a "Referencing Document" available from the Iran Watch Library. A date indicates when the sanction originally occurred. This list can be filtered to display the entities sanctioned by only one party. Unfiltered, the list reveals who has (and has not) been sanctioned by whom.
