Foreign Minister of Australia Julie Bishop in a statement appeared on the countrys Foreign Ministry official website on January 17 said, I welcome todays announcement that Iran has met its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal.
It is expected that sanctions on Iran, under UN Security Council Resolution 2231, will be lifted after the Security Council has received the IAEA report in coming days.
The Australian Government will then move to lift relevant UN and certain autonomous sanctions, including economic sanctions.
The easing of these sanctions will ensure that Australian business is not disadvantaged in pursuing opportunities in Iran.
The Implementation Day started on January 16 when Irans Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and the EU Foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini read a joint statement in Vienna, Austria, announcing the beginning of the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) made between Iran and world six major powers (Group 5+1) in 2015.
