Iranian Regime, Not Private Business, Benefitting From Post-Nuclear Deal Sanctions Relief

The flurry of business deals Iran has struck with European companies since sanctions on its economy were lifted as part of the Iran nuclear deal have helped the Islamic Republic’s state-backed conglomerates rather than its private sector economy, according to a New York Times article published Friday.

The deals Iran has agreed to so far have exclusively benefitted Iranian entities with links to state organizations, like the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). These entities control important industrial and commercial sectors of the country’s economy.

Iran’s private sector and broader population have not received the benefits of sanctions relief, despite the financial windfall of $50 billion to $150 billion that was released to Iran after the Jan. 16 implementation of the nuclear deal it struck with the United States and five other world powers.

This uneven distribution has some commentators and analysts questioning the Obama administration’s hope that the post-nuclear deal sanctions relief would be spent to strengthen Iran’s economy and empower moderate forces that could alter the regime’s rigid, anti-Western ideology.

Anyone with half an iota of awareness about Iran could have told us this. Major industry in Iran is run/owned by the government. There is no private oil industry in Iran. There is no private exporter in Iran. It is all State run.  Private businesses in Iran are generally limited to smaller, individual run businesses or those that aren't deemed State-necessary (somewhere I've read that 60%-70% of the Iranian economy is state owned).

There simply isn't private businesses in the industries that would benefit from it.
