With the implementation of the comprehensive nuclear agreement on July 14 between Iran and world powers, the U.S. Treasury Department announced on Monday that it has increased the number of types of medical supplies and equipment that can be exported to Iran. It was about three years ago that the Treasury Department announced that exporters could obtain a general annual license, eliminating the need for separate licenses for each export to Iran. Then, two summers ago, a list of items permitted for export to Iran was published, which included slightly more than 250 items across sixteen fields of medical activities, such as anesthesia, cardiology, dentistry, neurology, laboratory, and obstetrics and gynecology. Any individual or entity can export all these items to Iran with a general license, and this can also be done from third countries without the risk of sanctions.
The U.S. Increases Possibility of Medical Equipment Exports to Iran
The U.S. has expanded the list of medical equipment that can be exported to Iran following the nuclear agreement. This change allows for easier access to medical supplies, which is significant for healthcare in Iran. The move reflects a shift in U.S. policy towards facilitating humanitarian aid.
