The United States first imposed sanctions on Iran in 1979 following the Iranian revolution. These included freezing Iranian assets of $12 billion. Sanctions were then lifted as part of negotiations for the release of American hostages. Additional sanctions were placed on Iran in the 1980s due to Iran's invasion of Iraq and support of terrorism. In 2006, the UN demanded Iran halt uranium enrichment but Iran refused, leading the US to impose further sanctions. In 2015, the P5+1 reached a deal lifting sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear program, but in 2018 the US withdrew from the deal and reimposed sanctions.
