Is any Iranian’s house going to shrink because of sanctions?
Are Iran’s sheep going to roll over dead?
Are moths going to eat all their clothes?
Is their Internet going to stop working?

Most of the world doesn’t fill up an SUV with Chinese goodies come weekends.
Iran has about 91 million people.
That’s more people than the UK, France or Germany.
Iran can support a big and diverse economy.
This is one major reason Putin bailed on Assad and Syria.
The Russians knew they were going to have separate from Iran as part of the Ukraine agreement to get the best deal and if Russia does that, Syria also loses the Iranian support propping up Assads regime
So Assad was a dead duck and Russia cut it's losses in Syria and let Turkey take over in Syria on the cheap while Biden was still in office to best screw the US
I wonder if these comments were authorized by the Trump team. We’ve got a full slate of incoming national security -related officials so I doubt the Ukraine envoy is the one they want opining as to Iran policy. But maybe we’ll find out.

President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to do a deal — and soon. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own cynical strategy is to use negotiations to buy more time for his aggression.

Trump must avoid this trap. In his news conference on Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his promise to resolve the war quickly after taking office, underscoring his belief in a deal with Putin while expressing skepticism about Ukraine’s ambitions to join NATO. Trump didn’t repeat his campaign promise to end the war “in 24 hours,” and Trump’s nominee for special envoy to Ukraine, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, reset the clock on Fox News the following day. The Trump administration now wants to broker peace within 100 days of taking office.
