By what metric do the sanctions against Iran 'work'?
- jonknee 11y agoMany credit the sanctions for Iran's willingness to negotiate.
- tptacek 11y agoWhat possible other reason could they have had to negotiate?
- jonknee 11y agoI'm firmly in the camp that the sanctions were the catalyst.
- pdabbadabba 11y agoFear of war could have been another motivator, I suppose. But I suspect that Iran is well aware of how unpopular such a war is likely to be in the U.S. So, yeah, I agree that it's probably the sanctions more than anything else.
- quonn 11y agoOne could argue that they pushed Iran to agree to the deal that was recently announced.
