Summary/Abstract: The article presents sanctions as an instrument in the United States policy to Iran. Washington accuses Iran for sponsoring terrorism and developing intensively its nuclear program. Since 2006 sanctions have been imposed by the United Nation’s Security Council and additionally and the European Union has imposed embargo on buying Iran’s oil. Each of these imposed sanctions regimes against Iran do not bring to a desirable change in Iran’s policy. The article focuses on the problem of sanctions effectiveness, especially in the situation in which not all states agree in imposing hard sanctions and Iran is strongly determined in further developing its nuclear program despite of costs and condemnation and further sanctions.
