The report states that Iran is one of the most heavily sanctioned countries globally, facing multiple restrictions from the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations. Sanctions cover areas such as oil exports, the banking system, nuclear and missile programs, military activities, and senior officials. Notably, UN sanctions were reinstated in September 2025 through the "snapback" mechanism, reactivating six previous Security Council resolutions targeting Iran's nuclear and military programs. Furthermore, the US also implemented a new round of sanctions against Iran this month, aiming to exert economic pressure.
