Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
On 29 January 2026, the Council of the European Union adopted Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/267 and the accompanying Council Decision, implementing the EU's Iran human-rights restrictive-measures regime (Regulation (EU) No 359/2011, in place since 2011 and renewed annually). The package designates 15 individuals and 6 entities over the violent repression of peaceful protests, arbitrary detention, and internet/media censorship in Iran, bringing the regime's cumulative total to 24 individuals and 26 entities. The six newly listed entities are the Iranian Audio-Visual Media Regulatory Authority (SATRA), the IRGC-linked Seraj Cyberspace Organization, the Working Group for Determining Instances of Criminal Content (WGDICC), Yaftar Pazhohan Pishtaz Rayanesh Limited Company, Douran Software Technologies, and Masaf Institute. Designated parties are subject to an EU-wide asset freeze and a prohibition on making funds or economic resources available to them; listed individuals additionally face a travel ban.
Regulation (EU) 2021/821, adopted 20 May 2021 and applied from 9 September 2021, establishes the Union regime for controlling exports, brokering, technical assistance, transit, and transfer of dual-use items, repealing Regulation (EC) No 428/2009. Annex I lists controlled items implementing internationally agreed dual-use controls under the Wassenaar Arrangement, MTCR, Australia Group, NSG, and Chemical Weapons Convention. The regulation introduces a new catch-all control on cyber-surveillance technologies that could facilitate human-rights violations (Art. 5 and Annex IV), and strengthens cooperation between Member States and the European Commission, placing specific obligations on exporters. It serves as the statutory anchor for all EU export licences, every multilateral-regime transposition into EU law, and coordination mechanisms with US BIS, UK ECJU, JP METI, and KR MOTIE export-control regimes.
