This is just factually wrong. There is great beliefe in some groups about economic sanctions but economists and political sientists mostly agree about this, it not.
The data is pretty clear on this, it does not lead to regimn change or whatever else the country wants.
Now people will claim that the Iran deal is a counterexample, but it is not. I was the US who realied that their sanction had no effect on the nuclear program was going fast. The US then compromised even more.
The US is very good at making sanctions, but bad at removing them.
The way the do it in the Iran case is directly and clearly against all the international laws the US claims to stand for.
Its a sad state of affairs when Iran observes international law and the US spits on it.
