Nokia activity in IranYear ended 31 December 2025Official record
One employee at the end of 2025 in a local Iranian office held through a branch of a Finnish subsidiary. Nokia reports it ceased providing telecommunications equipment and services to its former Iranian customers, had no sale activity in Iran in 2025, recognised no sales or sales margin from any customer, and intends to continue not accepting new business in Iran in 2026.

Nokia Corporation, Annual Report on Form 20-F 2025, disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, printed page 117; the same disclosure appears in the Form 20-F for 2024 ↗ · retrieved 2026-09-12Nokia is a Finnish issuer with securities registered in the United States, so this disclosure is audited-year filing text, not a company statement to the press.
Minority shareholder, state-link assessmentYear ended 31 December 2025Official record
Nokia states that it "cannot exclude the possibility that Tacfam is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the government of Iran", while noting the assessment is difficult to make with any reasonable degree of certainty.

Stated gaps are part of the record: in an opaque market, knowing what is NOT publicly established is as decision-relevant as what is.
