Iran has been trying to evade sanctions and continue selling its oil abroad, while the U.S. and its allies have been seizing cargoes since 2019 after the country’s nuclear deal allowing the trade collapsed.

You misspelled "since 2019 when Trump blew up the only good thing that the US has done in the middle east for God knows how long."

I agree Trump blew that up. That being said sanctions are the tool if the day now I guess. And if you don't enforce them, what is the point? Unless people want the US to send in troops.

Oh yah that went real well for them in Iraq and Afghanistan.

People are suggesting sanctions are theft so I am not sure what is left.
