Turkey has frozen assets of numerous individuals and entities linked to Iran’s nuclear activities.
This action, announced Wednesday, September 30th through an executive decree by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, aligns with extensive international efforts to pressure Tehran regarding its nuclear program.
The decision targets individuals and organizations involved in Iran’s nuclear development program, including maritime transport companies, energy firms, and research centers.
Among those sanctioned are Sepah Bank, Isfahan Nuclear Fuel Research and Production Center, Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center, and Karaj Nuclear Research Center.
This move follows the return of UN sanctions. Western powers including the US, Canada, and Britain announced the restoration of UN sanctions against Tehran and imposed new sanctions on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
The asset freeze demonstrates Turkey’s coordination with international pressure on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
