How else would you suggest to enforce sanctions? Our are people suggestion the US send in troops? Our does the world just support these regimes?

Sanctions are siege warfare.

Thanks for the definition. So what is your solution or does the world just trade with these nations regardless what they do?

It's pretty clear I think all sanctions should be ended. All sanctions ever do is hurt the people.

"Solution". There isn't a way for us to force Iran to change. That has to come from within. Sanctions don't do that - siege warfare just forces everyone in Iran to hunker down and endure Western aggression, with the poorest being hurt the worst. The solution is peace.

So keep trying and keeping those governments in power and wealth. Makes sense.
