Since 1979, the United States has led international efforts to use sanctions to influence Iran's policies, including Iran's uranium enrichment program. Iran counters that its nuclear program is for civilian purposes, including generating electricity and medical purposes. While, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States - plus Germany) and Iran, reached an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that resulted the lift of the most sanctions; but on 8 May 2018, President Trump announced the US withdrawal from the agreement and the US sanctions resumed again. It is worth to mentioning that, Iran was not the only target of the US sanctions. The US is the biggest imposer of unilateral economic sanctions against other countries. According to the US Department of Treasury, the United States currently has sanctions programs against 19 countries. The number of entities and individuals sanctioned by the US government is almost countless. In this regard, the ODVV made and interview with Dr. Chandra Muzaffar.
