Iran is subject to some of the most comprehensive US sanctions in the world, administered by OFAC under multiple programs including the Iran Sanctions Act and the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR). Nearly all trade and financial transactions between US persons and Iran are prohibited, with narrow exceptions for certain food, medicine, and informational materials. Third-country companies trading with Iran also risk secondary sanctions exposure under US law.
US persons are broadly prohibited from engaging in trade or financial transactions with Iran under the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR). Limited exceptions exist for certain food, medicine, medical devices, and informational materials, subject to OFAC licensing requirements.
Non-US companies that conduct significant transactions with Iran's energy, financial, or other designated sectors risk being cut off from the US financial system and sanctioned under US secondary sanctions laws, even if they have no US nexus in the specific transaction.
Iran's principal exports are crude petroleum, natural gas, petrochemicals, and refined petroleum products. Agricultural exports include pistachios, saffron, and fruits. Sanctions have significantly curtailed Iran's ability to export these commodities on international markets.
