During 2012-2015, when the global community was relatively united in pressuring Iran, Iran’s economy shrank by 9% per year, crude oil exports fell from about 2.5 million barrels per day (mbd) to about 1.1 mbd, and Iran was unable to repatriate more than $120 billion in reserves held in banks abroad. The 2015 multilateral nuclear accord (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA) provided Iran broad relief from the international and U.S. secondary sanctions as the U.S. Administration waived relevant sanctions, revoked relevant executive orders (E.O.s), and corresponding U.N. and EU sanctions were lifted. Remaining in place were a general ban on U.S. trade with Iran and sanctions imposed on Iran’s support for regional governments and armed factions, its human rights abuses, its efforts to acquire missile and advanced conventional weapons capabilities, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Some additional sanctions on these entities and activities were made mandatory by the Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act (CAATSA, P.L. 115-44), which also increases sanctions on Russia and North Korea. Under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, nonbinding U.N. restrictions on Iran’s development of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles and a binding ban on its importation or exportation of arms remain in place for several years.

  • Iran's Strategy for Export of Natural
    Iran’s Strategy for Export of Natural Gas Statement by: M.A. Sarmadi-Rad Director of Regional Economic Cooperation MFA of Islamic Republic of Iran WORKING PARTY ON GAS UN/ECE 15th SESSION JANUARY 2005 GENEVA In the Name of God, The Compassionate, the Merciful Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers of this meeting for inviting me to make this presentation. It is indeed a pleasure for me to be here and share with you my point of view regarding Iran’s strategy for exporting natural gas. As for natural gas we all know that demand for natural gas has been growing much faster than the demand for other primary energy resources. It is also expected that the share of natural gas in the primary energy basket to increase rapidly. The growth rate of world demand for natural gas will average 3.1%. It is also no secret that European countries will be even more dependent on natural gas in the coming decades. Projected natural gas supply and demand for 2020 and 2030 reveal that European countries will have to find new sources of supply to satisfy their additional demand. Russia, currently the main supplier of natural gas to Europe, may not be able to meet this increasing demand. Because Russia, as is widely expected, will have to meet the growing demand for natural gas in FSU countries and in its domestic market. Iran, located strategically in the vicinity of Russia, the CIS countries and the Caucasus, as well as on the eastern border of Europe, has the potential to export large quantities of natural gas both to EU markets in the west and to the growing energy markets of South Asia and beyond.

  • Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration
    Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration Abigail Eineman IRAN WATCH REPORT John P. Caves III January 2021 1 Introduction During their confirmation hearings last week in the U.S. Senate, President Joe Biden's key national security nominees noted that the new administration was prepared to return to the nuclear accord with Iran, but warned that such a return would not be swift. First, Iran would have to resume compliance with the accord's nuclear restrictions in a verifiable manner, according to Secretary of State designate Antony Blinken, at which point the United States would resume compliance as well. President Biden’s choice for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, estimated during her confirmation hearing that “we are a long ways from that.”1 Compliance for the United States would mean reversing at least part of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” campaign—a set of overlapping trade and financial restrictions on almost every part of Iran's economy. The outgoing administration made such a reversal more challenging, particularly as a result of the sanctions imposed on Iran's financial sector in the administration's final months. On October 8, 2020, the United States designated Iran’s financial sector pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902 and sanctioned eighteen Iranian banks.2 In doing so, the U.S. Treasury Department applied secondary sanctions to Iran's entire financial sector for the first time, potentially barring foreign entities from the U.S. financial system should they do business with Iranian banks.

    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue The Brewing Crisis in The Persian Gulf: New Rules for Old Games No. 624 Yossef Bodansky June 2019 The Brewing Crisis in The Persian Gulf: New Rules for Old Games Yossef Bodansky June 2019 Executive Summary * Although the unfolding crises throughout the greater Middle East are increasingly driven by, and unfold according to, heritage-based frameworks and dynamics - the outcome of the Moscow Summit will have disproportionate influence over the next phases of these crises, and, consequently, the future of the region. The escalating confrontation between Iran and the US is both influencing and influenced by the mega-trends set by Russia and China. * Even though both Russia and China are not satisfied with the Iranian and Iran-Proxy activities and policies in the Iraq-Syria-Lebanon area - it is far more important for them to support Iran in the confrontations with the US in order to expedite the consolidation of the New Silk Road. * The US keeps escalating its covert war with Iran - both in the Persian Gulf and in Syria. The extent of the escalation and the focusing on objectives of great importance for Iran cannot but lead to Iranian harsh reaction. * Qassem Soleimani continues traveling clandestinely throughout the Middle East - preparing his vast and growing forces, both Iranian and Iran-Proxy, for the fateful clash with the US and its allies should Khamenei give the order.
