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.[edit]National
sanctions against Iran
U.S. sanctions against Iran: The United States has imposed an arms ban
and an almost total economic embargo on Iran, which includes sanctions
on companies doing business with Iran, a ban on all Iranian-origin
imports, sanctions on Iranian financial institutions, and an almost
total ban on selling aircraft or repair parts to Iranian aviation
companies. An exception from the Treasury Department is required to do
business with Iran.Canada imposed a ban on dealing in the property of
designated Iranian nationals, a complete arms embargo, oil-refining
equipment, items that could contribute to the Iranian nuclear program,
the establishment of an Iranian financial institution, branch,
subsidiary, or office in Canada or a Canadian one in Iran, investment
in the Iranian oil and gas sector, relationships with Iranian banks,
purchasing debt from the Iranian government, or providing a ship or
services to Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, but allows the
Foreign Minister to issue a permit to carry out a specified prohibited
activity or transaction.[2]Australia has imposed financial sanctions
and travel bans on individuals and entities involved in Iran's nuclear
and missile programs or assist Iran in violating sanctions, and an
arms embargo.[3]South Korea imposed sanctions on 126 Iranian
individuals and companies.[4]Japan imposed a ban on transactions with
some Iranian banks, investments with the Iranian energy sector, and
asset freezes against individuals and entities involved with Iran's
nuclear program.[5][dead link]Switzerland banned the sale of arms and
dual-use items to Iran, and of products that could be used in the
Iranian oil and gas sector, financing this sector, and restrictions on
financial services.[6]India enacted a ban on the export of all items,
materials, equipment, goods, and technology that could contribute to
Iran's nuclear program.[7]Israel banned business with or unauthorized
travel to Iran under a law banning ties with enemy states.[8] Israel
has also enacted legislation that imposes sanctions on any companies
that violate international sanctions.[9] Israel later extended the
sanctions by imposing a series of administrative and regulatory
measures to prevent Israeli companies from trading with Iran, and
announced the establishment of a national directorate to implement the
sanctions.[10][edit]Effects
The sanctions have had a substantial adverse effect on the Iranian
nuclear program by making it harder to acquire specialized materials
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]
