    Nah, the kind of violence we are talking about here has nothing to do with sanctions/Israel/USA. It’s the regime against the people, not people against each other. And this is 100% the regime’s responsibility. Israeli and US leadership is bad, but it has nothing to with the regime’s brutality. Also the sanctions are international, they hit Iran’s economy, but the regime could get rid of them at any time. It’s just that war and nuclear weapons are more important to them. Plus they run a very corrupt and inefficient economy anyway.

      They had already agreed to not pursue nuclear weapons, and let international observers in to verify, in the talks that ended apruptly when the US and Israel started bombing them.
      And before that, there had already been a deal in place, which the US unilaterally pulled out of.
