UN and EU Reimpose Sanctions on Iran Following Snapback Mechanism

On September 27, 2025, the United Nations reimposed sanctions and other restrictions based on Iran’s continuing “significant non-performance” of its nuclear commitments. Today, September 29, following the UN resolution, the European Union formally reimposed a broad range of sanctions on Iran, citing the same “significant non-performance” of its nuclear commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). These actions follow the invocation of the JCPOA’s snapback mechanism by the E3 (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) on August 28, 2025, and mark a major shift in the international legal and commercial landscape for entities engaged with Iran.

Trans fats are ingredients found in food, which can be artificial or naturally occurring. Meat and milk products may contain naturally occurring trans fats.

Research has shown that eating trans fats can be linked to cardiovascular disease. In 2015, the FDA determined that the primary source of artificial trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), are not generally regarded as safe (GRAS). PHOs are in many processed foods....Read more

What Is Offshore Wind?

Offshore wind or OSW is a term that refers to the generation of energy using wind turbines installed over bodies of water. Unlike onshore wind farms, offshore farms typically provide higher energy production because much larger turbines can be installed offshore than on land due to stronger and more consistent winds in marine environments. The energy created by offshore wind power is a renewable energy source and produces no greenhouse gas emissions, so it is considered an important component in the transition to net-zero emissions. Offshore wind projects are regulated at both the state and federal level including environmental regulations, safety standards, and permitting and licensing requirements. The Jones Act, which regulates maritime commerce in the United States, plays a critical role in how offshore wind projects are planned and constructed in U.S. waters....Read more
