Sanctions against Iran are being reintroduced, but what do they imply?

Sanctions do not cover the importation of drugs, but prices have also risen sharply in recent times. Indeed, banks and companies avoid doing business with Iran for reasons of certainty. An international medical aid organization in Iran warns the Guardian: "Any delay in the delivery of medicines, especially in the area where I work, will have catastrophic consequences."

Eight countries can still buy oil

Eight. countries were exempted from sanctions by the Americans for six months before the oil trade. According to the New York Times, it is at least from India, South Korea, Japan, and China. They are the largest importers of Iranian oil.

If the US government makes an exception for these countries, it hopes that in six months it will decide to no longer do business with Iran, said Jafari. "These are not globally supported sanctions and the United States can not impose them on the world." And there is another reason, he thinks: "The price of oil is increasing worldwide and in the United States this week, a rise in the price of oil is never good."

Europe is angry

Europe does not follow America in the hard-line world against Iran. For example, Europe does not respect the sanctions and does not go out of agreement with Iran. The EU has even called on companies to continue trading with Iran.

"Europe is really very angry with American sanctions," Jafari said. "This is of course because their businesses are affected, but also because they fear an unstable Iran, a kind of second Syria." Europe is now thinking of some sort of barter. "The idea is to create an institution in which, for example, the institution then sells it to Europe, after which Europe can also sell chips to the institution, then to Iran." [19659004] Erdbrink: "With regard to Iran, Europe and the United States are really Europe does not want a conflict and a stability of Iran because instability may lead to migratory flows and security problems. "

Imploding

What the United States ultimately wants with sanctions is not quite clear to Erdbrink. "The United States has 12 lists of requirements that they want Iran to comply with, then the sanctions are lifted." These are very strict requirements, which give the impression of wanting to overturn the regime. . "

Do they want to return Iranian leaders to the negotiating table, I think that such discussions have already taken place, which was already the case in the previous round of sanctions. "

Jafari thinks America is ready to leave Iran implode." The United States wants to use sanctions to ensure that Iran is no longer being broadcast. I think it will not work because Iran is used to living under sanctions, and other means will be sought to sell oil. They will be able to maintain it for years to come, yes, the general population will suffer, but the plan will not give up. "

" They Feel It "

Iranian President Rohani said last week that future sanctions are not to be feared." This means a new injustice on the part of Americans, but people need to know that the government is not afraid of American threats. "Rohani made similar remarks to the sanctions of August

Iran's leaders may not be afraid, that is the population that will notice especially, said Erdbrink. "I think the Iranian economy is going to have a hard blow in the next six months, but we have to see how things are going now because ordinary Iranians are anyway an agony – they feel the consequences of the sanctions. "
