AIC's President, Dr. Amirahmadi, speaks about sanctions with TRTWorld.  

He explains that, "From the American side, almost ninety five percent of the American sanctions on Iran are still in place.  Americans only lifted sanctions related to nuclear programs on Iran.  So if you are a US entity, sanctions almost completely remain, except for certain areas where there are humanitarian issues, or if you are under license from the treasury department.  So, unfortunately from the US side, sanction relief remains very illusory, very little has happened."
