End of first wind-down period
Following President Trump's decision on 8 May 2018 to withdraw the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action ("JCPOA"), the US government announced that it would re-impose pre-JCPOA nuclear related sanctions (both primary and secondary) that were lifted under the JCPOA. As we reported previously, two 'wind-down' periods – of 90 and 180 days respectively – commenced from the day of the announcement, during which non-US, non-Iranian companies were encouraged by the US government to withdraw from operations in Iran that would be affected by re-imposed sanctions.
On 6 August 2018 the first of these wind-down periods expired. President Trump issued a new Executive Order ("New EO") re-imposing sanctions effective as of 7 August 2018. For our full briefing on the matter, please click here.
