Too mad to write politely. Because the US is Israel’s bitch the rest of the world must not work with Iran. And because the US hates the ruler of Syria so much it tacitly supported a genuinely Wahhabist terrorist group instead, all other governments must not work with them.

When the petrodollar is over and Americans realize they’re less welcome in most places than the plague, maybe then you’ll elect some sane politicians and leave the world alone.

Can someone explain how the world is a better place by outlawing business with Iran? Remember, the crime here is selling telecom equipment...

The world is a better [0] place if less people have nuclear weapons. "Outlawing business" (i.e. sanctions) are being used to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Thus it improves the world [1].

[0] Better is somewhat subjective I suppose, but I think we can pretty objectively say "more likely to hold a human civilization 100 years from now".

[1] It also undoubtedly makes the world worse in other ways, whether it improves the world more than it makes it worse is too political for me to be interested in discussing it with strangers on the internet.

The goal of most sanctions, from a diplomatic perspective, is to place enormous financial pressure on an economy so that the population revolts agains the government in question. It's believed that when the "price of onions" becomes too high for a society to tolerate, revolution occurs.

I'm not saying the world is/isn't a better place, just explaining the common beltway logic re: Iran sanctions.
