2018年5月29日发布的通函6/2018中指出了船东和保险人将受到美国政府决定退出伊核六国(中、法、德、俄、英、美)、欧盟与伊朗共同签署的《联合全面行动计划》(JCPOA)引起的潜在影响。
美国现已重启因《联合全面行动计划》而解除、豁免的伊朗制裁,第二次也是最后一次缓冲期已于2018年11月4日结束。美方已明确表示,希望所有非美国实体或个人都应遵守已重新实施的次级制裁。美国和欧盟现在采取了不同的方法,欧盟试图通过修改欧洲理事会 (EC)第2271/96号条例,即众所周知的《阻断法令》(见进一步通函9/2018),维持《联合全面行动计划》规定的制裁减免。

Iranian Trade after 4 November 2018
Circular 6/2018 issued on 29th May 2018 outlined the potential repercussions for shipowners and insurers arising from the U.S. Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) Agreement signed by China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union (EU) and Iran.
The U.S. has now re-imposed sanctions on Iran that had been lifted or waived under the JCPOA with the second and final wind down period coming to an end on 4th November 2018. The U.S. has made it clear that it expects all non-U.S. persons to comply with the secondary sanctions that have been re-imposed. The U.S. and the EU now take divergent approaches with the EU seeking to maintain the sanctions relief provided for by the JCPOA by, amongst other things, amending the annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 2271/96, otherwise known as the Blocking Regulation (see further Circular 9/2018).
