[@mandyfisher1234]

1:00 This girl got the definition of "Sanction" word all wrong. It is not to make it obey an "International Law". According to US policy there is no international law and sanctions are "No matter if this is illegal, in violation of UN resolutions, world law and order, morality and human rights or with the cost of innocent people's lives and wellbeing even inside US, it is an action against a sovereign country to make it obey United States corrupt corporate establishment".

From the presentation, it seems the sanctions are biting the economy. As an oil-producing country, Iran is expected to LOWER not RAISE the price of oil which leads to hardship and mass protests. I read a report where unemployment alone is more than 40% and that is not good. It means a lot of graduates have no jobs and if they have no jobs, how do they survive? The question should be how Iran reverses this course. I don’t know of any nation that survives when isolated, not a single one including Cuba and N. Korea and if you doubt, please visit those countries and share your impression with us. The people in power might have enough to eat but the masses usually don’t and an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. Let’s all pray for Iran and her people because this is NOT a good news even though the media would want us to believe they are getting by just fine.

The JCPOA was because sanctions were backfiring on the U.S.. The sanctions were making countries abandon the U.S. dollar. It gave both countries a way to back off and at the same to save face. The Iranian government raised the price of gasoline from $.06 to $.12. The subsidizing of gasoline was causing waste and too many vehicles on the road. The U.S. government taxes gasoline rather than subsidizing it.

The US sanctions against Iran are working quite well at making the world increasingly more dangerous and potentially catastrophic consequences.The sanctions also demonstrate how America uses the US dollar, as the global reserve currency, as a tool for it’s own geopolitical purposes, which kinda makes the former prospect impossible and therefore by default illegitimate.
