“The Islamic regime showed how the current sanctions regime has been unable to punish its economy as it repatriated 13 tons of gold this week. Iranian officials on Monday announced the transfer by the South African government, which released the gold bullion as part of the sanctions relief agreed on in the November 2013 interim deal reached between world powers and Iran over the latter’s controversial nuclear program. By the newly extended July 7 deadline for a deal next week, Iran will have had nearly $12 billion in assets unfrozen over the course of nuclear talks. Indicating the failure of sanctions, Iran’s GDP grew 3% in 2014.”
