Duolingo D-Day: Iranians question latest US sanctions targeting education

The article discusses the impact of recent U.S. sanctions on Iran, particularly highlighting their effect on civilians and specific sectors like education. The U.S. administration, under President Donald Trump, introduced new sanctions as part of 'Operation Economic Outcast,' expanding secondary sanctions to include sectors such as aviation, digital assets, gold, shipping, and technology. These measures aim to isolate Iran economically and restrict interactions with U.S.-linked entities. Additionally, the U.S. suspended general licenses allowing educational and sports-related cooperation with Iran, as well as personal remittances. The sanctions exacerbate existing challenges faced by Iranians, including currency instability, rising costs of basic goods, and limited access to international services. The article emphasizes how these policies disproportionately affect ordinary citizens rather than directly targeting the Iranian government.
