PAAIA Releases Third Educational Video on Iran Sanctions

January 6, 2014, Washington, D.C. – The Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) today released the third video in its educational series on the sanctions against Iran and what Iranian Americans need to know about how these sanctions may impact their lives. In this video, Erich Ferrari of Ferrari & Associates, P.C., Ferrari explains the prohibitions on having bank accounts in Iran. 

The videos are part of PAAIA’s effort to ensure that the Iranian American community is well-informed on issues related to U.S.- Iran relations, such as the economic sanctions, and how to follow the related laws appropriately. The videos are informative in nature and should not be construed as legal advice.

The videos were spearheaded by PAAIA NexGen DC member Shirin Jamshidi and reflect PAAIA’s dedication in working with the next generation of our community in educating Iranian Americans about the laws, regulations, and policies that affect their lives.

For more information about sanctions, please see PAAIA’s reports on sanctions and other publications, which provide an overview and analysis of current sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran and their impact on the Iranian American community. An updated report will be released soon, with an overview of sanctions legislation under consideration during the 113th Congress.
