Germany reviews EU decision on ArvanCloud sanctions

The German Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced that the removal of Iranian firm ArvanCloud from the EU sanctions list is under review.

The company was at the center of anti-government protests in 2022 over its role in Iran’s internet censorship. And it was sanctioned at the time.

“The case is currently under review by the European Court of Justice. We cannot confirm any decision by the EU to lift sanctions against ArvanCloud.”

Iran International reported earlier this week that the European Union was planning to delist ArvanCloud. However, according to a source close to European diplomats, the decision is pending approval.
