      US sanctions on Iran are resulting in harm to the country’s environment and preventing everyone there - including migrants and Afghan refugees - from fully enjoying their rights to health and life, and contributing to other factors such as rising air pollution

      Iran is violating the human rights of all living there. Do you have such a weak memory? And while they do that they want to build nukes? Fucks sake.

        The sanctions are exacerbating the human rights issues. It’s in the article. From the United Nations.

          This article is compelling, and I’m a bit torn. I didn’t realize Iran has had these sanctions since 1979. I should know that, I paid attention in hiatory class. When the sanctions are framed on a shorter time scale, the JCPOA in 2018 and sanctioning of officials in 2022… those make more sense. But this 40+ year long policy was not a good choice. I imagine the Iranian people will just suffer for the rest of my lifetime unless we shift methods.
