Trade between the EU and Iran has been on a downward trend in recent years, partly due to existing sanctions and international pressure surrounding the nuclear program. The figures below show that there is economic interdependence that could pose risks:<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total EU\u2013Iran trade amounted to approximately \u20ac4.5 billion in 2024.<\/strong>, of which approximately \u20ac0.8 billion were imports and approximately \u20ac3.7 billion were exports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2025, trade fell to approximately \u20ac2.8 billion (\u221218%) in the first nine months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dutch exports to Iran amounted to around <strong>\u20ac430 million<\/strong>. This makes the Netherlands the second largest EU exporter to Iran.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dutch imports from Iran are relatively small. During the same period, Iran had a <strong>a trade deficit of around \u20ac60 million<\/strong> with the Netherlands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These figures underscore that the direct economic impact of the new measure is limited, but that there are indeed existing trade relations that may harbour risks.<br>At the same time, the inclusion of the IRG on the terrorist list is crucial for compliance. It confirms how strictly and broadly European sanctions rules are enforced and how significant the consequences are for companies that do business with the wrong parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRG had already been sanctioned by the EU due to proliferation and security risks. However, the new classification as a terrorist organization significantly increases the risk of unwitting involvement through indirect corporate structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interesting read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altares.nl\/?elementor_library=compliance-pagina\">Everything about our compliance solutions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this announcement is important for European companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRG is not only a military organization, but also an economic power with a network of entities that is deeply intertwined with the Iranian public and commercial sectors. Among other things, it owns and manages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 large construction and infrastructure companies,<br>\u2022 assets in oil exploitation and logistics,<br>\u2022 interests in energy, telecommunications, and various industrial sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that an apparently legitimate Iranian company, or even a non-Iranian supplier or customer, may have hidden ties to this sanctioned entity.<br>Even if your organization does not do business directly with Iran, supply chain exposure remains a real risk. Consider multinational suppliers, subsidiaries, financial flows, or partners that may be indirectly affiliated with IRG entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development is therefore not something that is \u201cfar removed from our daily lives,\u201d but rather a concrete reason for EU companies to review their compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this mean for your existing order portfolio?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The main implication is clear:<\/strong><br>Every organization must re-examine its existing business relationships, suppliers, customers, investments, and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>IRG-affiliated companies<\/strong> often operate under different names, through subsidiaries or complex ownership structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EU sanctions<\/strong> Now affect not only individual officials and known IRG entities, but also parties that have material ownership or control by the IRG.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A violation, even if unintentional, can result in legal, financial, and reputational damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its symbolic value, the measure also aims to limit the IRG's financial power. This means that financial transactions, supply chains, and ownership structures will be monitored more closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Altares Dun &amp; Bradstreet helps organizations in this new reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of high-quality business information becomes particularly apparent when sanctions are imposed on entities with complex business networks.
