US sanctions on Iran over 47 years
For 47 years, the United States has used economic sanctions as a primary tool to pressure Iran, ranging from freezing assets and trade bans to targeting oil, banks, and smuggling networks to bypass sanctions. Reports indicate that the most comprehensive American sanctions since the Iranian Revolution in 1979 have nearly all forms of commerce with Iran and have frozen its assets within the United States. With the Trump administration hinting at unprecedented sanctions, questions have arisen about their effectiveness in changing Tehran's behavior, especially as some trading partners like China and Russia continue to cooperate with Iran. Experts added that Iran relies on smuggling networks to evade sanctions, and over the decades, it has diversified its economy, found alternative markets despite the blockade, and expanded land trade routes through countries like Azerbaijan.
