Resolves YES if

Yes if, on or before 2026-12-31, the Council of the EU adopts a Council Decision and/or Implementing Regulation adding at least one natural or legal person to an EU Iran sanctions annex (or to the EU cyber-sanctions framework) where the designation is publicly linked to the 11-12 October 2026 attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems / the IRGC-CEC unit 'Shahid Kaveh' (also tracked as CyberAveng3rs). A Council press release announcing the listings, or publication in the Official Journal, counts. A statement of intent, a tasking of the EEAS, or a discussion at the 16 November Foreign Affairs Council without adopted listings does NOT count.
