Overview of International Sanctions on Iran and Prospects for Relief
Iran remains subject to a complex array of international sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and others, primarily targeting its nuclear program, ballistic missile activities, human rights record, and regional support. UN Security Council resolutions since 2006 include arms embargoes and asset freezes, with some sanctions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal but later reinstated after the US withdrawal in 2018. Iran seeks further sanctions relief through ongoing nuclear talks, with potential waivers on oil sales under a new interim agreement.
