Iran Sanctions Iran Sanctions (name redacted) Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs July 27, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS20871 Iran Sanctions Summary The comprehensive nuclear accord (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA), finalized on July 14, 2015, provides Iran broad relief from U.S., U.N., and multilateral sanctions on Iran’s energy, financial, shipping, automotive, and other sectors. Sanctions were suspended or lifted upon the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) certification on January 16, 2016, that Iran had complied with the stipulated nuclear dismantlement commitments under the agreement (“Implementation Day”). Iran is able to freely export crude oil and to access its foreign exchange reserves held in foreign banks—a net amount (gross amount minus what is committed to creditors) of nearly $60 billion. On Implementation Day, Administration waivers of relevant sanctions laws took effect and relevant Executive Orders (E.O.s) were revoked by E.O. 13716. Remaining in place are those secondary sanctions (sanctions on foreign firms) that have been imposed because of Iran’s support for terrorism, its human rights abuses, its interference in specified countries in the region, and its missile and advanced conventional weapons programs. Most sanctions that apply to U.S. companies remain in place. Under U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231 of July 20, 2015, most U.N. sanctions terminated as of Implementation Day, but U.N. restrictions on Iran’s development of nuclear-capable ballistic missiles and its importation or exportation of arms remain in place for limited periods of time. During 2010-2013, sanctions significantly harmed Iran’s economy and contributed to Iran’s decision to accept the JCPOA. The sanctions and related diplomatic pressure caused or contributed to the following: Iran’s crude oil exports fell from about 2.5 million barrels per day (mbd) in 2011 to about 1.1 mbd by mid-2013. The effect of that export volume reduction was further compounded by a fall in oil prices since mid-2014. Sanctions also made inaccessible about $120 billion in Iranian reserves held in banks abroad. Iran’s economy shrank by 9% in the two years that ended in March 2014, before stabilizing since 2015 as a result of modest sanctions relief under an interim nuclear agreement that went into effect on January 20, 2014. Growth of about 4% is expected for 2016 largely because of the sanctions relief. Sanctions and sanctions relief have contributed to the electoral success of Iran’s President, Hassan Rouhani. Sanctions relief likely gives Iran the option of resurrecting its civilian economy as well as expanding its regional influence. The JCPOA contains no formal requirements or restrictions on how Iran spends its national funds. Iran’s ability to procure equipment for its nuclear and missile programs and to import advanced conventional weaponry was and remains constricted by sanctions, but Iran was able to develop its nuclear and missile programs and to assist pro-Iranian movements and governments in the region even when sanctions had maximum effect. Some in Congress have proposed legislation to sanction Iran’s continued missile development and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which supports pro-Iranian movements and governments as well as helps secure the regime, as well as to extend the Iran Sanctions Act, which expires on December 31, 2016. Other legislation seeks to prevent finalization of a major U.S. sale of passenger aircraft to Iran Air. However, sanctions legislation that might affect Iran’s behavior is also likely inconsistent with the JCPOA.

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.

  • 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.

  • Interest Free Banking in Iran: Challenges and Prospects
    © 2018 JETIR September 2018, Volume 5, Issue 9 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Interest Free Banking in Iran: Challenges and Prospects Nazir-Ul-Islam1 1 Senior Research Scholar at the Centre of Central Asian Studies, University of Kashmir, Srinagar. Abstract The revolution of Iran played a primary role in converting the conventional banking in Interest-free banking after 1979 in Islamic Republic of Iran. The government in 1983 passed the law of Interest-free banking, and in 1984 banks started Islamic banking based on the 1983 interest-free law. It is difficult to accept that a bank can be run without paying or receiving interest and without the involvement of interest banks will play any role in economic development. The interest free banking system of Islamic Republic of Iran is perceived as an effective tool in achieving of the objectives of Islamic economics. This paper is an attempt to study Interest-free banking of Islamic Republic of Iran along with products offered. Furthermore, challenges and prospects will be focused. Finally, suggestions for the improvement of the performance of these banks will be mentioned. Key Words: Interest, Islam, Islamic Banking, Law. 1. Introduction Islamic Finance a recent phenomenon is not a new concept but as old as the Islamic state of Madina. Contemporary Interest free banking experimented on the land of Egypt in 70s has now reached to the non- Muslim countries too. Now more than 300 Islamic banking institutions have been established in the world.2 The 1979 revolution of Iran played a primary role in converting the conventional banking in Islamic banking.
