<human>:  What is the impact of US sanctions on Iran?
<bot>: The US sanctions imposed on Iran have had a significant and damaging impact on its economy. The restrictions on oil exports and other exports, as well as a wide range of financial and banking restrictions, have led to high levels of unemployment and poverty, as well as a scarcity of essential goods and services. This in turn has led to a significant decrease in living standards for many Iranians and a greater reliance on the government for basic services. Additionally, these sanctions have had a substantial effect on the value of the Iranian rial, leading to increased inflation and further economic hardship for Iranians.
