Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Inside Iran: What Iranians think of stand-off with US
The Islamic Republic of Iran has lived under US economic sanctions ever since the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran by radical students in 1979 and the subsequent detention of diplomats. Washington froze Iranian assets and cut off all US trade and investment with Iran. More sanctions had been added aimed at restraining Iran’s development of nuclear capabilities until the former US administration and other world powers reached a deal with Iran in 2015. Under the agreement, Iran would restrict the use and development of nuclear facilities in return for the lift of nuclear-related economic sanctions, freeing up tens of billions of dollars in oil revenue and frozen assets. However, the present US administration withdrew the agreement abruptly and adopted tougher sanctions aimed at restraining Iranian development of dual-use nuclear capabilities that would enable the production of nuclear weapons. This spring, the US cut off all revenues from Iranian oil exports, the lifeblood of the country’s economy, which has pushed the annual inflation rate to over 50%.
What is life in Iran like now? What do people feel and think of these sanctions and the latest standoff? One thing seems to have happened. By re-imposing economic sanctions on Iran, Trump seems to have helped Iran more united among various sectors of the country and more opposed to the US.
Enjoy reading the article and learn what people in Iran think of the US sanctions.
