Iran Sanctions
Katzman, Kenneth
Congressional Research Service (CRS) Report for Congress, April 9, 2010, online edition, 34p (PDF)
"Numerous laws and regulations have been adopted or issued to try to curb Iran’s support for militant groups and slow its weapons of mass destruction programs. The sanctions are intended to reduce the revenue available to Iran’s government and to generate domestic pressure within Iran to adopt policies more acceptable to the international community. The wide range of U.S. sanctions restrict U.S. trade with and investment in Iran, prohibit U.S. foreign aid to Iran, and require the United States to vote against international lending to Iran."
