Iran

Manuel Herrera

Chapter 36 in Elgar Encyclopedia of International Sanctions, 2025, pp 126-131 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This entry examines the historical evolution, legal frameworks, and multidimensional impacts of sanctions imposed on Iran. Beginning with the US sanctions in 1979 during the Tehran hostage crisis, it covers multilateral sanctions implemented by the United Nations and region-specific measures by the EU, the United Kingdom, and other global actors. The entry highlights the sanctions’ economic, political, and humanitarian repercussions on Iran, particularly their role in disrupting oil exports, exacerbating domestic economic instability, and affecting access to essential medicines. It also explores the geopolitical ramifications, including tensions in global oil markets and regional trade relationships.
