The recent Turkish corruption scandal clearly shows how the Iranian Regime has been able to bypass the economic sanctions. This is just a small sample. There are many other agents like Babak Zanjani and Reza Zarrab, who work for the Iranian Regime and have bases abroad. These agents have bases in different countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Russia, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.
According to the Turkish authorities, Reza Zarrab alone has been involved in nearly 87 billion euro irregular money transactions mostly with Iran. Given the fact that Reza Zarrab and Babak Zanjani are not the only Iran's agents, who are involved in these types of irregular and illegal activities, we should find reasonable answers for the following questions:
1- Can the economic sanctions change the main course of the Islamic Regime?
2- Has the economic sanctions pushed Iran toward the nuclear negotiation?
