Source: TASS

An authorization of the UN Security Council will be required for transferring to Iran the materials and technologies that can be used for the creation of missile weaponry

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on enforcing UN Security Council Resolution 2231 of July 20, 2015 that sealed the solution of the Iran nuclear issue, according to the document posted on the government’s legal information portal on Friday.

Putin has decreed that Russian organizations and institutions will be required until October 18, 2025 to get a preliminary authorization from the UN Security Council for delivering, selling or directly transferring to Iran "all the items on the List of nuclear materials, equipment, special non-nuclear materials and corresponding technologies subject to export control."

The same requirement applies to all the items specified in the List of equipment and dual-purpose materials and corresponding technologies applied for nuclear purposes.

A preliminary authorization of the UN Security Council will also be required "for Iran, its citizens and legal entities registered in Iran or staying under its jurisdiction, or private individuals and legal entities acting on their behalf or on their instruction, or legal entities under their possession or control for placing investments on the territory of Russia in any kinds of commercial activity related to the extraction of uranium, the production or use of nuclear materials and technologies specified in the List of nuclear materials."
