- Ordinance of 12 December 2025 on measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran (SR 946.231.143.6), art. 16 (Financial sanctions) and art. 27 (Prohibition to honour certain claims), annex 14
- Stated grounds
- Masoud Mosadegh is the Commander of the Special Units of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces (LEF Special Units). The LEF Special Units have on many occasions been deployed to violently supress peaceful protests, killing and injuring civilians. This was also the case in the nationwide protests in Iran that began in December 2025. Masoud Mosadegh is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations in Iran.
