Whistleblowers allegedly found billions of dollars' worth of previously undetected transactions between UK-based Standard Chartered (StanChart) and Iran-linked entities and terrorist organizations. The transactions happened between 2008 and 2013, after the bank said it would cease business with Iran in 2007. The whistleblowers made their claims in a U.S. federal court filing and highlighted transactions with a front company owned by Mohammad Bazzi, a Hizbollah financier, as well as with a Pakistani fertilizer company that allegedly sold explosive materials to the Taliban. StanChart has already paid more than two billion dollars in penalties for sanctions violations and due diligence failures.

The European Union sanctioned Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters and one of its commanders for its role in coordinating Iran’s military operations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy (IRGC-N) for involvement in weapon, missile, and UAV deliveries to Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Lebanon’s Hizballah, and Iran-based Kavan Electronics Behrad which procured and sold components for Iranian UAVs. The European Union also sanctioned Defense Minister Mohammadreza Ashtiani, IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani, and Afshin Khajifard, the director of the Iranian Aviation Industries Organization.

According to a quarterly report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has added more than 20 kg to its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity since the last report in February, for a total of 142.1 kg enriched to that level. The report also noted that the deaths of Iran's president and foreign minister have caused a pause in talks between Iran and the IAEA over improving cooperation. France and the United Kingdom have reportedly pushed to adopt a new resolution censuring Iran at the upcoming IAEA board meeting, but the United States has so far not supported the move.

The European Union expanded a July 2023 framework of restrictive measures targeting Iran for its military support to Russia. The measures will now cover not only unmanned aerial vehciles (UAVs), but missiles as well. The Council may impose sanctions on persons and entities supplying, selling, or involved in Iran’s UAV or missile programs, particularly in support of Russia’s war against Ukraine, in support of armed groups and entities undermining peace and security in the Middle East and Red Sea, and in breach of UN Security Council Resolution 2216. Targeted individuals and entities are subject to asset freezes and travel bans. The export of components used in UAVs to Iran is also prohibited.
