Yes they were, and no it's not.

  It's not what they were saying, they said so themselves, but if you think they're related then answer my question. Should you be punished for the actions of your government?
  • charonn0 5y ago
    Of course not.

      Then why does the Iranian government deserve any of the blame for the US punishing Iranian citizens?
      • charonn0 5y ago
        As far as I know there aren't any sanctions against individual Iranians. This might seem like splitting hairs, but since you're framing it as the US "punishing" individual Iranian citizens it's an important distinction to point out.

          Every individual citizen is getting punished. And "That's not an answer."

            It's impossible to have a discussion if you insist on mischaracterizing sanctions.

              I am not mischaracterizing anything. There were no individual sanctions enacted against Ahmad Haghighi yet he individually was punished by the US sanctions.
