On January 10, 2020, the United States (US) imposed economic sanctions on:
- Iranian sectors that previously had not been specifically targeted, namely the construction, mining, manufacturing and textile sectors;
- Certain Iranian regime officials;
- Iran’s largest companies operating in the steel, iron, aluminum, and copper sectors ; and
- Non-Iranian entities for trade in Iranian metals.
Norton Rose Fulbright has prepared a legal update that discusses the implications for both US and non-US persons engaging in any activity that involves Iran, and also activity that involves any of the designated targets.
The Legal Update was written by:
