US report on Iran sanctions

The US Congressional Research Service has published its Iran Sanctions report (4 January 2019), providing a detailed analysis of US and international sanctions against Iran. It notes that the recent reimposition of US sanctions has “begun to harm Iran’s economy as major companies exit the Iranian economy rather than risk being penalized by the United States”. Furthermore, that “Iran’s oil exports are decreasing”, and that the value of Iran’s currency has “sharply declined”.
