The document discusses the various sanctions that have been imposed on Iran by the United States, United Nations, European Union, and other countries. It outlines the reasons for sanctions, including Iran's nuclear program, human rights issues, and support of terrorist groups. Over time, sanctions have expanded from weapons bans and assistance cuts in the 1980s to increasingly harsher restrictions on Iran's banking system, oil exports, and trade. The sanctions have aimed to compel Iran to limit its nuclear activities but have also had significant economic and humanitarian impacts.
All the information you need to know about the Iran nuclear deal and the effect that it will have on the country's economy, as well as the impact at a worldwide level.
The Economic Implications of US` Withdrawal from Iran DealDAVID OKOYE
The economy of one country in one way or the other connects with the economy of another and so it continues in chains linking virtually many countries. Economy is built by trade. A country trading successfully with good balance sheet will always have a booming economy. A country which does no successful trading will witness backwardness in its economy. When countries involve only intra-country trade, the success will be limited to the trading capacity of the countries, but when it engages inter-country/international trade, it opens itself to the boundless opportunities in trading with the many countries of the world.
This goes to say that world`s economic growth can be greatly enhanced by increasing international trades which is known professionally today as globalization.
Iran is a country rich with some natural resources which are constantly in high demand. Some of these natural resources are petroleum, uranium, plutonium, etc. All these natural resources, if extracted and traded as export product, will increase the country`s economy and in effect the economy of other countries of the world. This opportunity of increasing trades across borders and as a result bettering the economies of countries around the world has been truncated as sanctions and upon sanctions hits Iran.
This report will focus on the economic implications of these sanctions, on Iran, Europian Union, the United States of America and others countries, as they are imposed and lifted.

A one-hour presentation to members of the International Underwriters' Association of London on 12 September 2014. It offers an overview of UN, EU, US and UK sanctions and export controls which are imposing increased obligations on the insurance industry and sets out the main steps necessary to ensure compliance.
A delay or, worse, a refusal of your export licence application can be costly and potentially damaging to your business. In this presentation at a conference in Manchester in July 2014, Richard Tauwhare of Green Light Exports, explains how licence applications are assessed, describes the main causes of delays and refusals, and gives practical advice on how companies can avoid them.

Iran's Revival : What Will Your Strategy Be?Solidiance
On January 16th 2016, the 37 years of successive sanctions against Iran was lifted. Iran is currently home to 1.5% of the global GDP and is the 18th largest economy in the world, presenting itself as a strong business-case for significant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). For the Iranian government, this means an immediate access to USD 150 billion in frozen assets, and an opportunity to rebuild the country’s industrialized economy. For businesses, the most immediate and significant sanctions to be lifted against Iran are the financial sanctions that have barred the country from playing in the global financial markets. This white paper provides a review of the Iranian economy, comparing it to lucrative emerging markets in the Middle East and Asia such as Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, while also highlighting investment opportunities and risks in Iran today.

2. Reasons
for
sanctions
In 2012, the
U.S.
Department
of State
stated:
• In response to Iran’s continued illicit
nuclear activities, the United States and
other countries have imposed
unprecedented sanctions to censure Iran
and prevent its further progress in
prohibited nuclear activities, as well as to
persuade Tehran to address the
international community’s concerns about
its nuclear program.
The website of
the U.K.
government
states:
• On 16 October 2012, the EU adopted a further
set of restrictive measures against Iran as
announced in Council Decision 2012/635/CFSP.
These measures are targeted at Iran’s nuclear
and ballistic programmes and the revenues
made from these programmes by the Iranian
government.
• In response to the deteriorating human rights
situation in Iran, the EU has also adopted
Council Regulation (EU) No 359/2011 of 12
April 2011.
The BBC, in
answering
"Why are there
sanctions?"
wrote in 2015:
•Since Iran's nuclear programme became public in
2002, the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) has been unable to confirm Tehran's
assertions that its nuclear activities are exclusively
for peaceful purposes and that it has not sought to
develop nuclear weapons....
•The United Nations Security Council has adopted
six resolutions since 2006 requiring Iran to stop
enriching uranium - which can be used for civilian
purposes, but also to build nuclear bombs - and co-
operate with the IAEA.
3. Sanctions of 1979
•The first sanctions were imposed by the United
States in November 1979 after a group of radical
students seized the American Embassy in Tehran
and took hostages. These sanctions were lifted in
January 1981 after the hostages were released.

5. The European Union has imposed restrictions on cooperation
with Iran in foreign trade, financial services, energy sectors
and technologies, and banned the provision of insurance and
reinsurance by insurers in member states to Iran and Iranian-
owned companies. On 23 January 2012, the EU agreed to an
oil embargo on Iran, effective from July, and to freeze the
assets of Iran's central bank.

individuals and entities involved in Iran's nuclear and missile
programs or assist Iran in violating sanctions, and an arms

refining equipment, items that could contribute to the Iranian
nuclear program, the establishment of an Iranian financial

9. Sanctions
imposed by
Iran
• Iran does not have significant geopolitical weight to impose economic and political
sanctions against Western countries, so most of the steps taken are demonstrative
and symbolic.
• In 2008 the Islamic Republic announced a ban on imports of 75 so-called luxury
products — ranging from high-end cars to coffee to toilet paper — part of efforts to
promote domestic products and stem the outflow of dollars and other foreign
currency as Western economic pressures increasingly choke off Iran’s commerce and
critical oil revenue.
• In 2018, as a response to US visa restrictions for those who have visited Iran after
2011, Iran ceased affixing visas in passports and stamping passports on entry of
foreigners from most countries
• In 2020-2021 Iran imposed sanctions on Trump, Pompeo and other US officials.
Tehran accused them of supporting terrorism, complicity in the assassination of
General Suleimani and nuclear engineer Fakhrizadeh and violations of international
law. The President himself, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Treasury Chief Steve
Mnuchin, ex-Pentagon chief Mark Esper, Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller
and CIA chief Gina Haspel were included in the sanctions list.
• In 2021 Iran banned importation of Covid vaccines from the US and UK
• Iran has absolutely no ties with Israel
• Most often, the Iranian authorities accuse Western countries of violations of
international law, preventing Iran from reaching a prominent civilizational status
