Sanctions in Iran started today on Aug 6, 2018

What's not being talked about is Iran is helping other countries in their region, Where as the United States invaded Iraq, destroyed it's infrastructure, let ISIS invade and maraud across the land 10 years later. The United States has done little in the interest of the people in that region.

"The first set of U.S. sanctions coming back on Monday target Iran's automotive sector as well as gold and other metals.
A second batch of U.S sanctions targeting Iran's oil sector and central bank will be re-imposed in early November."

It's my opinion That Iranian Sanctions are currently only popular and supported by the United States and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

President Trump is quoted as saying,"The JCPOA, a horrible, one-sided deal, failed to the fundamental objective of blocking all paths to an Iranian nuclear bomb, and it threw a lifeline of cash to a murderous dictatorship that has continued to spread bloodshed, violence, and chaos,”.

I firmly believe this is direct action to stop Iran's footprint in the region from spreading any further. Iran has spread it's countries ties financially, and militarily in Iraq and Syria in a way that has helped both the Syrians and the Iraqi people.

With Sanctions lifted, Iran financially had the ability to finance diplomacy even stronger into two areas The United States has spent Trillions of dollars to destabilize, Iraq and Syria.

The fact that Saudi Arabia is somewhere behind the scenes as a direct competitor of Iran pulling strings diplomatically isn't helping. Saudi Arabia stands to make Billions of dollars on Irans new round of sanctions.

Iran has become the regions new superpower. Some would say Iraq is now a Proxy state of Iran and the people of Iraq are happy for it. Stores are stocked with Food from Iran, Buildings are being constructed with Iranian Cement and Bricks, Security against ISIS is being handled by Iranian Backed Militia Security forces. Of Key importance is the new roads being built that go from Iran through Iraq and all the way into Syria.

This Iran-backed militia helped save Iraq from ISIS. Now Washington wants them to disband

American's are usually clueless in what happens in Iraq, Syria and Iran. We know President Trump has broken the 2015 Nuclear Deal with Iran, that Sanctions are back on, and there is alot of talk of War with Iran on the horizon. That's what we know. Nobody can see the good Iran has added to a Region rife with the literal rape and pillaging of Iraqi and Syrian communities at the hands of ISIS. Iran's support has put an end to many communities nightmarish conditions and help is from a familiar Neighboring Country.

Iran's Entrenched footprint in Iraq and Syria

The fact that Europe is not in support of these new rounds of Iranian Sanctions must tell you there is not a rational explanation for The U.S. to scrap the 2015 Iranian Nuclear Deal. As a matter of fact Europe is scrambling to enact legislation to protect it's current trade with Iran.

BBC News,"An EU "blocking statute" will take effect on Tuesday to nullify US legal action against European firms in connection with Iran.
Some US sanctions on Iran are expected to be reimposed later on Monday."

A joint statement from EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini and the foreign ministers of France, Germany and the UK,
"We are determined to protect European economic operators engaged in legitimate business with Iran, in accordance with EU law and with UN Security Council resolution 2231," the statement says".
"This is why the European Union's updated Blocking Statute enters into force on 7 August to protect EU companies doing legitimate business with Iran from the impact of US extra-territorial sanctions."

A parting word from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,"We convinced the US president [to exit the deal] and I had to stand up against the whole world and come out against this agreement,” Netanyahu says in the video. “And we didn’t give up.”
The prime minister then begins to speak about the Iranian regime — “not the Iranian people, I have nothing against them” — before he is interrupted by an unidentified person off-screen who says, “It will disappear with the help of God.”
“You said it. From your mouth to God,” Netanyahu says in response as the clip ends.

The real reason the U.S. GovernmentSanctions against Iran are taking place is to hammer and punish Iran's influence in the region, and nothing more.
