This isn't a reminder that sanctions are useless. It's evidence of a crime that needs to be investigated and charges filed against the companies involved.



Spoken like a true politician! Not only are the sanctions illegal by many international laws (and frankly, even domestic law considering how freedom of speech has been interpreted by the Supreme Court, to say the least), they fail to prevent the activity that supposedly justifies them. Meanwhile, the general population cannot get medicine and basic goods needed to have a decent life. A true crime against humanity. Especially absurd in the case of Iran, which entered a formal deal with the US in exchange for sanctions relief, only to have a subsequent administration scrap it because it didn't like it, all the while Iran holding up its end of the bargain.
