Talk:United States sanctions against Iran

message: Should there be a sentence that despite official sanctions, the US government covertly conducted arms sales, particularly of missiles?    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.20.104.254 (talk) 22:04, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Is seems to me that this article should be renamed "US sanctions agains Iran", since it deals only with US sanctions, not UN sanctions for example, and there could be a more general article named "sanctions against Iran" that would group all sanctions against Iran, whether they are international, US, European etc.--Alain10 16:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  this is only US sanctions 

message: Did anybody notice the aircraft pictured is a Boeing 747?  Obviously purchased before the sanctions, the article should clarify that for possibly confused readers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.137.59 (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I just did a major copyedit of the page.  I focused on changing language to be clear, removing redundancies, and complying with WP:NPOV.  I removed information not specifically related to sanctions nor needed to explain them (as, for example, that U.S. forces attacked Iranian naval forces, or that IEEE, not a U.S. government agency, restricted privileges of Iranian members).  I fixed a lot of the citations, and removed two external links not complying with WP:EL.
I also removed the three templates at the top of the page. I ask that if someone puts one or more back, he/she also explains, on this talk page, exactly why there is a problem (giving examples of NPOV language still in the article, or examples of where a non-U.S. viewpoint is missing).  I do strongly recommend against posting a template regarding the less-than-complete references. There are literally millions of Wikipedia articles that need more footnotes. There is no need to waste everyone's time by pointing out that need in this article specifically.  -- John Broughton   (♫♫) 17:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I listened to a Jim Sinclair interview on YouTube. If I get him right, the US sanctions against Iran in effect threaten every single bank in the whole world to be cut off from SWIFT if they don't stop trading with Iran!  "If you are not in SWIFT (as a bank), you are not in business!" - I don't know if he is right, but he almost sounds like: if only one bank in a country has ties to an iranian bank, all banks of this country will be cut off from SWIFT  (effectifely taking them out of business), so no wonder he calls that the nuclear option of economic warfare and fears retaliation... (- his fears are, that China, Japan, India etc. will react to that kind of economic warfare by developping their own settling-system and retaliate by not buying US treasuries anymore etc. - but that's a different story.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.193.67.190 (talk) 03:20, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The bounty on  Li Fangwei is for violating sanctions on Iran. Why is this not notable? Hcobb (talk) 10:12, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I won't revert, but this seems totally lacking in context.  It's not about China so much as it's about the structure of U.S. sanctions, namely that they apply to third parties who engage in certain actions.  And it should not be a subhead under Ahmadenijad.
