    Yes. Also that has no relevance here.

    Are you suggesting the Iranian government is not a hell state that deserves sanctions?

      Plenty of hell states deserve sanctions, including the US. Being a hell state isn’t a criterion for sanctions. You’re just parroting US propaganda which pretends human rights are why it applies sanctions when in reality that is the last thing on their mind.

        So you agree they deserve sanctions and this is a good thing.

        Why are you arguing?

          I said “Being a hell state isn’t a criterion for sanctions.” Sanctions don’t work the way you think they do. They don’t actually punish the people who make hell states the hell states that they are. If they did, then the hell state that would be among those that deserve it the most would be the USA. Do you agree with this?

            No, but whether or not I agree the US should be sanctioned is not relevant here.

              Cool, because being a “hell state” is not relevant for sanctions.

        I’m unaware of a pending invasion of Iran, and I think it’s about a year late for the kind of intervention I’d have liked to see.

        The Iranian government has no right to exist, and should absolutely be overthrown, though.
