Financial and trade sanctions are the most common type of restriction in the global economy. Sanctions are also economic and political tools to impose the demands of a country and secure its interests by another country (Trufimova; 2015, Ninionkrich Weinmeier; 2015, Bazvandi; 2015, Cheraghali; 2013, Tian and Holly; 2010, Dent and Boomont et al., 2007; Bert; 1997; Van Fornstenberg; 1991; Lem; 1990). Although a wide range of sanctions have been used, the increase in financial sanctions over the past few years has been unprecedented.
US financial sanctions encompass restrictions that deprived Iran from financing of US EXIM bank, export credit, loan guarantee and export insurance. Also, US representative in the international financial institutions are deterred from voting for granting loan to Iran. These sanctions reduced financial ability of Iran and enforced Iran to find costly alternatives for financing projects. The primary effect of financial sanctions was the reduction in financing for the development of oil and gas projects.
Because the bulk of the country's export revenue and part of the government's expenditures provided by oil revenues. It created a bottleneck in the investment in the oil and gas sector which has adverse consequences, as the government has to develop oil fields and increase their capacity to extract oil. Therefore, the primary effect of US financial sanctions was to reduce funding for Iran's oil projects, which have delayed investment (Heydarian and et al , 2021).
