US Expands List of Medical Equipment Allowed for Export to Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The United States has updated list of medical supplies authorized to be exported or re-exported to Iran, the US Department of the Treasury announced.
“The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is updating the List of Medical Supplies eligible for exportation or re-exportation to Iran under the general license… of the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR)… to include additional items,” the official website of the US Department of Treasury said in a statement on Monday.
It said the move is a modification of the ITSR within the general license originally issued on October 22, 2012 for the export of basic medical supplies to Iran.
The development came after Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany- also known as P5+1 or E3+3) on July 14 reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on Tehran’s nuclear energy program.
The agreement, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), would terminate all nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran after coming into force.
