Sanctions and Incentives: Iran

 
 
Produced by the Monterey Institute's Center for Nonproliferation Studies

Today, the United States is using a combination of tools to try to persuade Russia to end the transfer of technology and material (including dual-use items) that can be used in Iran's nuclear and missile programs. The United States, for example, has banned U.S. exports to Russian organizations that are selling nuclear and missile equipment to Iran. It has also offered to increase U.S. funding for cooperative programs with Russia for peaceful space and nuclear power projects.
