  • Summary

    This chapter delves into the intricate saga of Iran – a Middle Eastern country – under US economic and financial sanctions initiated in 1979 and periodically renewed due to Iran’s nuclear aspirations. The chapter traces historical events from the Tehran Hostage Crisis to the post-Khomeini era, shaping US–Iran dynamics across administrations. It covers the JCPOA of 2015, the Trump Administration’s withdrawal, and re-imposition of sanctions. The legal dimensions of unilateral and multilateral sanctions are explored, presenting diverse perspectives on their complexities within international law. Examining repercussions, the chapter scrutinizes their effects on Iran’s economy and populace under economic blockade over the decades.
