Türkiye froze the assets of numerous individuals and entities connected to Iran’s uranium enrichment activities on Wednesday, coordinating with broader international efforts to pressure Tehran over its nuclear program.
The decision, issued Oct. 1 under presidential decree number 10438, targets people and organizations involved in Iran’s nuclear development program. The move comes as the United States imposed parallel sanctions on Iranian weapons procurement networks, marking a coordinated response to renewed concerns about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Türkiye’s asset freezes affect individuals and companies across multiple sectors, including Iranian nuclear facilities, shipping companies, energy firms, and research centers. Among the targeted entities are the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, several banks, and companies involved in uranium conversion and nuclear fuel production.
