The General Court of the European Union overturned the E.U.'s sanctions on Iran's Sharif University of Technology, ruling that the European Council had failed to provide enough evidence linking the university to Iran's nuclear activities. The Court's decision gave the Council two months to provide a different justification for sanctions before the asset freeze on Sharif University of Technology is lifted.
