Economic sanctions are a commonly used tool in international relations, employed by nations to influence the behavior of other countries. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of economic sanctions on the Iranian and Russian governments, while also examining the advantages and disadvantages of economic sanctions for the international market. The Iranian and Russian governments have both faced extensive economic sanctions over the years, albeit for different reasons and to varying degrees. By comparing their experiences, this study seeks to shed light on the effectiveness and consequences of such sanctions. The analysis begins with an overview of the historical context and motivations behind the sanctions imposed on Iran and Russia. It then delves into the specific impacts on their economies, political landscapes, and societies. Comparisons will be drawn regarding how these nations have adapted and responded to sanctions, both in terms of policy measures and public sentiment. Furthermore, this paper explores the broader implications of economic sanctions for the international market. It discusses the advantages of sanctions as a diplomatic tool, such as coercing compliance with international norms, deterring aggressive behavior, and protecting human rights (Barry E. Carter 1999). However, it also highlights the disadvantages, including potential harm to innocent civilians, unintended consequences for global economic stability, and the risk of exacerbating geopolitical tensions. n conclusion, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted effects of economic sanctions on governments and the international market. By examining the cases of Iran and Russia, we can draw valuable lessons about the complexities and trade-offs involved in utilizing economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of careful consideration and evaluation when imposing sanctions to ensure that they achieve their intended objectives without causing undue harm to innocent populations or destabilizing global economic systems.
