In
violation of legal bans on collective punishment, U.S.
sanctions on Iran harm ordinary people, not the Iranian
government. These crippling sanctions have robbed the
people of their livelihood, violating individuals' right to
health, making the Coronavirus pandemic more lethal, and
causing unnecessary suffering and death. Many members of the
U.S. Congress have expressed their urgent
concern.
President-Elect Biden has expressed his
willingness to lift at least some sanctions and rejoin the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, aka the Iran Nuclear
Agreement. The deal ensures Iran’s nuclear program remains
peaceful in return for lifting sanctions.
The
Iranian government has maintained openness to that path
for the past four years, and has recently committed to abiding
by the provisions of the nuclear agreement upon the lifting of
sanctions.
Iranian elections in June 2021 could
create a government far less willing to continue cooperation
with a U.S. government that has abandoned agreements, imposed
cruel sanctions, and assassinated Iranians. So the Biden
administration will need to demonstrate good faith
rapidly.
