Although sanctions against the import of Iranian carpets and pistachios were lifted by the Clinton administration, many of the original sanctions remain in effect to this day.

Some American business leaders would like the sanctions to be removed so that their companies can take part in oil and gas deals from which non-American firms are benefiting.
