It undermines the spirit of decades of bipartisan congressional sanctions which required the absolute cessation of Iranian nuclear activity. Now, in return for Iran marginally slowing the pace of its nuclear ambitions, the regime will have access to billions of dollars in economic relief. “It’s doubtful softening sanctions in this way will deter the Ayatollah, and this Administration should settle for nothing less than a completely dismantled Iranian nuclear program.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:39:47Z |
