Iranian Sanctions - Tim White

The US Government has used economic sanctions for over 200 years to exert pressure on foreign countries and others to implement its foreign policies. In recent times, the US has used sanctions against numerous foreign governments, including Iran, North Korea and Venezuela. The sanctions programs relating to Iran have a particularly complex and tortured past. In this edition of AML Conversations, Elliot Berman and Tim White of AML RightSource, discuss the history of these programs from their inception in 1979 to their current state.
