In a report issued by the Iran Project, the group suggested the sanctions policy may be backfiring.

Sanctions have "contributed to an increase in repression and corruption within Iran" and "may be sowing the seeds of long-term alienation between the Iranian people and the United States," the experts and diplomats wrote.
