Comments: My humble take on the subject of sanctions at this point and time is that if the sanctions are taken away it will ONLY benefit one of the three parties. The three parties are, the west, IRI, and the people. Pick your choice.
Comments: Has IRI ever not been sanctioned? Was there a sanction on IRI from 2005-2013? There have been a number of sanctions against Iran imposed by a number of countries, especially the United States, and international entities. Iran was the most sanctioned country in the world until it was surpassed by Russia following its invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February 2022.[1] The first sanctions were imposed by the United States in November 1979, after a group of radical students seized the American Embassy in Tehran and took hostages. These sanctions were lifted in January 1981 after the hostages were released, but they were reimposed by the United States in 1987 in response to Iran's actions from 1981 to 1987 against the U.S. and vessels of other countries in the Persian Gulf and support for terrorism.[2] The sanctions were expanded in 1995 to include firms dealing with the Iranian government.[3] The third sanctions were imposed in December 2006 pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 after Iran refused to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1696, which demanded that Iran halt its uranium enrichment program. Initially, U.S. sanctions targeted investments in oil, gas, and petrochemicals, exports of refined petroleum products, and business dealings with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It encompassed banking and insurance transactions (including with the Central Bank of Iran), shipping, web-hosting services for commercial endeavors, and domain name registration services.[4] Subsequent UN Resolutions have expanded sanctions against Iran. Over the years, sanctions have taken a serious toll on Iran's economy and people. Since 1979, the United States has led international efforts to use sanctions to influence Iran's policies,[5] including Iran's uranium enrichment program, which Western governments fear is intended for developing the capability to produce nuclear weapons. Iran counters that its nuclear program is for civilian purposes, including generating electricity and medical purposes.[6] When nuclear talks between Iran and Western governments were stalled and seen as a failure, U.S. senators cited them as a reason to enforce stronger economic sanctions on Iran.[7] On 2 April 2015, the P5+1 and Iran, meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, reached a provisional agreement on a framework that, once finalized and implemented, would lift most of the sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear programs extending for at least ten years.[8][9][10][11] The final agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, was adopted on 18 October 2015.[12] As a result, UN sanctions were lifted on 16 January 2016.[13] On 8 May 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal. Sanctions by the United States were reinstated in November 2018, and expanded in 2019 and 2020 to cover Iran's financial sector. Temporary waivers were granted to some countries to continue importing reduced amounts of oil from Iran until 2019. On 21 February 2020, Iran was placed on the FATF blacklist.[14] The UN arms embargo on Iran expired on 18 October 2020, as agreed in Iran's 2015 nuclear deal, allowing Iran to import foreign military equipment.
Comments: Shahin. To your point about sanctioning IRI because of foul plays like taking innocents as hostage and asking for ransom, the big issue is that many actually find IRI a legit government made of diplomats who are striving for independence. Once you understand who runs the country and whose benefits being fulfilled then the picture will be less foggy. These occupiers by evidence demonstrated that they are there for looting the country and oppress the citizens so that they can continue their pillaging.
Comments: Another impressive possession game by Spain. Although they could not score. 2nd half coming up.
Comments: Shahin, he might, but I doubt that. His contract will run out next year so, next summer, he can go anywhere he wants without interference from the Spurs. He is 30 years old. He still has 4 or 5 productive years left in him (considering today's athletes). I think he will stay with the Spurs for one more year, score as many goals as he can and then go to a title contender. Perhaps even Manchester city to finish his career, win some trophies and top the scoring table.
Comments: I’m not being sarcastic. I did learn a lot from the conversation in the past few days. I had lots of questions about why people say or do things and I feel I’m much closer to understanding it. I truly believe there are no absolute right and wrong. Good talking to you guys. Until next time.
Comments: Farzad: Niloufar Bahadorifar was part of the plot kidnapping Masih Alinejad. She was a go between for transferring money to execute the operation here. She was sentenced to 4 years in jail. This is what her attorney said before the sentencing. Not sure how this will be received: Bahadorifar’s lawyer insisted to the New York Times his client was just another victim of a “cancerous Iranian regime.” “When Iran’s terrorist leaders aren’t slaughtering their own people,” Jeffrey Lichtman said, “they’re traveling the globe trying to kill their critics, including the despicable manipulation of Ms. Bahadorifar by an old family friend.”
Comments: Bardia: If Kane was one season or few goals away from Alan Shearers record, may be it would have changed his decision about leaving EPL for a much better deal but he is 47 goals away realistically 2-3 years away. I think he will pull the BM trigger on the deal if no other Champions league level team in EPL offer that to him
Comments: A country that takes innocent hostages for the sake of negotiation on money & other matters deserves to be sanctioned even on moral grounds
Comments: When you have an incompetent regime like we have, any smart person knows that regardless of sanctions, situation will get worse everyday for the people unless you are naive. So why do you want even give these gharatgars money, any money?

Comments: Shahin, what's common in the sanctions that worked you listed is that Soviet or Russia was not meddling.
Comments: ok, we have to deal with EG.5 aka Eris this fall.
Comments: Here are some places sanctions worked. It’s never guaranteed https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2014/04/28/13-times-that-economic-sanctions-really-worked/
Comments:  The eight Iranian non-U.S. citizens in U.S. detention or on supervised pretrial release for federal offenses. |
