    This but unironically.

    The court filings also show allegations that “profits from oil sales support the IRGC’s full range of malign activities, including the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, support for terrorism and both domestic and international human rights abuses.”

      Remember Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction?

        Yes. Also that has no relevance here.

        Are you suggesting the Iranian government is not a hell state that deserves sanctions?

          Plenty of hell states deserve sanctions, including the US. Being a hell state isn’t a criterion for sanctions. You’re just parroting US propaganda which pretends human rights are why it applies sanctions when in reality that is the last thing on their mind.

            I’m unaware of a pending invasion of Iran, and I think it’s about a year late for the kind of intervention I’d have liked to see.

            The Iranian government has no right to exist, and should absolutely be overthrown, though.
