Radio Farda is known for its critical stance on the Iranian government.

On Tuesday, June 8, the UN Security Council unanimously extended the mandate of the committee of experts overseeing the implementation of sanctions against Iran for another year. The resolution mandates the committee to continue its work until July 9, 2016. According to the Associated Press, this decision indicates that the most powerful body of the UN is not ready to change the sanctions regime against Tehran despite the approaching end of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the six world powers on July 1. Iran and the P5+1 group are striving to reach a comprehensive and final agreement to resolve ambiguities regarding Tehran's nuclear program. If such an agreement is reached, Iran hopes to end the crippling international sanctions. The UN Security Council must approve the lifting of sanctions against Iran if a final agreement is achieved. The five permanent members with veto power in this council, along with Germany, form the P5+1 group that is negotiating with Iran. Since 2006, the Security Council has imposed four resolutions of sanctions against the Iranian government, entities, and individuals. The eight-member UN committee overseeing sanctions against Iran was established in 2006 and is chaired by Salome Zurabishvili, the former foreign minister of Georgia. This committee regularly reports on Iran's compliance with Security Council resolutions to the sanctions committee of the council. In addition to UN sanctions, the United States, Australia, Canada, and the European Union have also imposed separate penalties against Iran, which have exerted crushing pressure on Iran's economy in recent years. These sanctions have led to a one million barrel drop in Iran's oil exports and have blocked over $100 billion of Tehran's assets in various countries. According to the US Treasury Secretary, the decline in oil exports has resulted in a $160 billion reduction in Iran's oil revenues over three years. As stated by Antony Blinken, the US Deputy Secretary of State, on June 8, 'If a final agreement is reached, most of Iran's sanctions will be suspended for a long time, not ended, and if Iran fails to meet its commitments, they will automatically be reactivated.'
