The USA will reinstate sanctions against Iran on Monday. Just to be clear, sanctions do not hurt governments; they hurt innocent men, women & children...who among things, are then told that their misery is due to the Americans. It’s never good policy to purposefully inflict pain.

We impose sanctions when the nation violates agreements. The sanctions may hurt that nations people, but it is their government that is responsible. The people being hurt should be questioning their government and pressure them to do what is right.

How would you deal with the situation without sanctions?

Sanctions may not be warranted in this case, maybe that’s why you tweeted what you did? But I stand by my response because sanctions can avoid war
