 After the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA or Iran nuclear deal), the United States has imposed several new non-nuclear sanctions against Iran, some of which are being condemned by Iran as a violation of the deal.In July 2017, most Congressional Democrats and Republicans voted in favor of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) that grouped together sanctions against Iran, Russia and North Korea.The United States has been considering new penalties, which reportedly seek to punish several companies and individuals from Iran.
