\n

The statement said the reimposition of United Nations (UN) sanctions is a result of Iran not complying with the terms of the internationally recognised Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action which was signed in 2015 and will take effect on October 18.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The announcement comes after Britain, France and Germany also reimposed UN sanctions citing Iranian breaches, and after Australia in August accused Iran of directing two anti-semitic arson attacks in the cities of Sydney and Melbourne and gave Tehran\u2019s ambassador seven days to leave the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The sanctions introduce a range of restrictions including an asset freeze and travel bans for sanctioned persons, import and export bans on certain nuclear and military goods, and a duty on New Zealanders to exercise vigilance in dealings with Iran, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This re-imposition of UN-mandated sanctions reflects the international community\u2019s deep concerns about Iran\u2019s non-compliance with its nuclear obligations and unjustifiable levels of uranium enrichment activity, Peters said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New Zealand has consistently supported diplomatic efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons from any source.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We strongly encourage Iran to re-engage in negotiations and resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Peters said New Zealand will also be introducing a compulsory registration scheme for New Zealanders who intend to do business with Iran, which comes into effect on February 1,2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
