Reinforcing the Role of Sanctions in Restraining Iran
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Katherine Bauer, Patrick Clawson, and Matthew Levitt - Sanctions remain a viable and powerful tool to confront Iran over human rights abuses, terror support and ballistic missile tests. This study looks at the role of sanctions in restraining Iran's regional aggression and disrupting its global-terrorism, money-laundering, and procurement networks. Options are presented for emphasizing the sanctions that remain, fully implementing those sanctions, imposing additional sanctions for nonnuclear transgressions, and applying proportional sanctions when Iran fails to comply with parts of the nuclear deal.
