The United States under former president Donald Trump reinstated crippling sanctions on Iran after unilaterally walking out of the 2015 nuclear deal in May 2018, despite Irans full compliance with the terms of the agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Although Trump failed to achieve his professed goals with the so-called maximum pressure campaign, the waves of sanctionstook a heavy toll on ordinary Iranians, including those battling life-threatening diseases.
The sanctions, maintained by Trumps successor, have restricted the financial channels necessary to pay for basic goods and medicine, undermining supply chains by limiting the number of suppliers willing to facilitate sales of humanitarian goods to the country.
Iran has repeatedly denounced the sanctions as an act of economic war, economic terrorism, and medical terrorism.
