Summary
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Although Iran faces crushing U.S. sanctions, there are still ways for Tehran to obtain coronavirus vaccines as the country suffers the Mideast’s worst outbreak of the pandemic. For its part, Iran has alleged U.S. sanctions have affected its ability to purchase medicine and vaccines. Rejecting a COVAX vaccine offer could see Iran receive doses later as well.WHY IS IRAN UNDER U.S. SANCTIONS?Since the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover and the 444-day hostage crisis in Tehran, Iran has been subject to a series of changing economic sanctions.
