Abstract

The confrontation between Iran and America began in 1979 with the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran. This is one of the most important issues that have been discussed at the global level, or at least it is considered a sensitive issue in the Middle East region. This confrontation can be examined in two areas of war and sanctions: in the war, the United States, with its all-out support for Saddam against Iran, sought the fall of the Islamic Republic during eight years of imposed war, during which Saddam committed all kinds of crimes (war crimes, genocide... ) committed The use of chemical and biological weapons against Iranian forces and the Kurds resulted in unforgettable crimes, the clear example of which is the Halabja crime. At the end of the war, America directly entered the fray and targeted Iranian oil platforms and ships. The last crime of the US was the killing of 290 passengers of an Iranian passenger plane over the Persian Gulf by the USS Vincennes. Finally, this process led to the acceptance of Security Council Resolution 598 by Iran, which was not recognized as an aggressor country in the Iraqi resolution. And in the field of sanctions, the US first froze more than 12 billion dollars of Iranian assets in 1979, and the US Congress allowed the amounts to be confiscated. This embargo policy started during the Carter era and was intensified during the Clinton era with Ilsa's embargo in Congress. America was able to impose Security Council sanctions on Iran during the presidency of Mr. Ahmadinejad
