UK’s lifting sanctions on Iranian entities - suspicious, official says

Tehran, Iran, April 3

By Mehdi Sepahvand –- Trend:

It is suspicious that the UK has recently removed the sanctions on a number of Iranian entities, says Shahrooz Barzegar Golshani, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.

It is suspicious because it was made shortly before Iran’s presidential election, the MP told ICANA news agency April 3.

The British Department for International Trade in a new post-sanction notice last week announced that Iran list was removed from the UK government’s website.

According to gov.uk, Iran list, which identified a range of entities, companies and organizations in Iran, was published to help exporters judge whether their exports might potentially be of concern on end-use grounds, based on Export Control Organization ECO’s previous decisions
about exports.

“The lifting of some sanctions means that Iran is able to trade more freely with the international community. This offers an opportunity for UK companies to win business in the biggest market to enter the global economy in decades,” the notice read.
