Iran Sanctions, Kenneth Katzman. Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs. September 13, 2012
“The principal objective of international sanctionsto compel Iran to verifiably confine its nuclear program to purely peaceful useshas not produced that outcome to date. Since late 2011, a broad international coalition has imposed progressively strict economic sanctions on Irans oil export lifeline, producing increasingly severe effects on Irans economy. Many judge that Iran might soon decide it needs a nuclear compromise to produce an easing of sanctions, because the energy sector provides about 70% of Irans government revenues.”
