This appears to be WP:Original research, or more specifically, WP:SYNTH and an essay. The sources appear primarily to support propositions that the article's creator than draws together to form their own conclusion. Singularity42 (talk) 18:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

- It's a POV fork from the main article.Drako (talk) 18:53, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to United States sanctions against Iran#Effects and criticism: While the topic if you were to put it in a more WP:NPOV light is potentially notable, the article is a bit of a mess right now; furthermore, if this article were to be developed as a full article it should be at Effects of United States sanctions against Iran. There likely is enough to write that article, but for now a redirect seems like the best way of going about this. TartarTorte 18:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete, highly POV fork. Don't redirect because the title itself is way too POV to be useful as a redirect. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:14, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Major POV issues here, title is a red flag for POV, article is not necessary in context of United States sanctions against Iran existing. Too much history for me to make a statement about relevance of WP:SPA but seems worth noting. CT55555 (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
Comment: Already voted, but just a comment that redirects need not be neutral under WP:RNEUTRAL so long as WP:R#D3 doesn't apply, and I would argue that it doesn't apply here. TartarTorte 00:04, 19 May 2022 (UTC)- Delete POV + OR. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 12:26, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- If the sanctions are futile, something that I will express no opinion on, then that should be covered at the article about the sanctions rather than hived off into a separate article. Such POV-forks only preach to the already converted. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete You don't even have to read the article to know what is wrong with it. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:56, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Aside from all the other issues, it's got such whoppers as "The US dollar is no longer popular in the international trading [as a result of imposing sanctions]." I can't read the first reference (in Persian), but the other two (not surprisingly) don't support the claim at all. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
