79Thus, the General Court was correct in stating, at paragraph 118 of the judgment under appeal, that the criterion at issue forms part of a legal framework clearly delimited by the objectives pursued by the rules governing the restrictive measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran and, in particular, that recital 13 of Decision 2012/35, inserted, for the first time, that criterion into Article 20(1) of Decision 2010/413, states expressly that the freezing of funds has to be applied to persons and entities ‘providing support to the Government of Iran allowing it to pursue proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, in particular persons and entities providing financial, logistical or material support to the Government of Iran’. Similarly, the General Court is correct in stating that Article 23(2)(d) of Regulation No 267/2012 states also that that support may be ‘material, logistical or financial’.
