> The sanctions have had a substantial adverse effect on the Iranian

> and equipment needed for the program. The sanctions have also had a
> strong impact on the Iranian economy. As well as reduced access to
> products needed for the oil and energy sectors, the sanctions have
> prompted many oil companies to withdraw from Iran, and have also
> caused a decline in oil production due to reduced access to
> technologies needed to improve their efficiency. According to U.S.
> officials, Iran may lose up to $60 billion in energy investments
> annually. Many international companies have also been reluctant to do
> business with Iran for fear of losing access to larger Western
> markets. The effects of U.S. sanctions include expensive basic goods
> for Iranian citizens, and an aging and increasingly unsafe civil
> aircraft fleet. According to the Arms Control Association, the
> international arms embargo against Iran is slowly reducing Iran's
> military capabilities, largely due to its dependence on Russian and
> Chinese military assistance. The only substitute is to find
> compensatory measures requiring more time and money, and less
> effective.[11][12] According to at least one analyst (Fareed Zakaria),
> the market for imports in Iran is dominated by state enterprises and
> regime-friendly enterprises, because the way to get around the
> sanctions is smuggling, and smuggling requires strong connections with
> the regime. This has weakened Iranian civil society and strengthen the
> state.[13][edit]
