The Iranian regime is facing one of the biggest threats to its survival so far. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a lifeline for the regime at a time when it was suffering from major economic issues. The 2015 nuclear deal provided it with a huge sum of cash, the total of which is in dispute, and a huge amount of assets were freed up.

They are now in place, and further sanctions are continuing to be issued.

For a long time, the US has believed the false narrative that the only options for dealing with Iran are appeasement or war. Neither of those options is good because no one wants to enter a deadly war in the Middle East and no one wants to allow a dictatorship to continue its crimes unchallenged.
