I tend to agree. We will be using the strength of our economy and our position in global commerce against them. Reagan used economic strength against the Soviets, but not in such a direct way.

Would like to see a more structured analysis on the impact. Divesting from firms doing business in/with Iran would seem to be the devastating blow but that’s not on the table it appears. The impact of this move? Maybe the mullah’s internal military allies on international travel.

Other than that, I’m not clear what the direct goal is with the implementation.
If it’s primarily political, and my sense is it is, then the real goal here is to rachet up the pressure with another goal in mind.

If it’s a military action on their nuclear/military facilities, I’m skeptical that it will have the desired results. Would love to be wrong in that concern.
