"The individuals & entities targeted today are based in Iran, China, & Belgium & have acted as a procurement network for Iran’s Centrifuge Technology Company (TESA), which plays a crucial role in Iran’s uranium enrichment nuclear program through the production of centrifuges."
Under UNSC Resolution 2231 (2015), which endorsed the JCPOA, the sale, supply, or transfer to Iran of Nuclear Suppliers Group-controlled items requires advance, case-by-case approval from the UN Security Council, with very narrow exceptions that do not apply in this case.
