What is being modified by that have/has imposed sanctions on Iran?
Is it Australia, or is it countries?
Once you figure out which is being modified, you will know that [spoiler]have is correct[/spoiler].

Of the COUNTRIES that HAVE IMPOSED sanctions, Australia IS one.
Since the that-clause in red serves to modify countries (plural), the verb in the that-clause must also be plural.
