Biden admin scrambles to impose new penalties on Iran after letting weapons sanctions expire

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : "If they keep the cash flowing to the regime, avoid [snapping back U.N. sanctions], and allies don't designate the [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] as a terrorist organization, we will know this is more of a media stunt than a pressure track," Richard Goldberg, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said on X Tuesday.
42% : The Biden administration allowed United Nations (UN) sanctions against Iran's drone and missile to expire in October, despite outcry from critics and lawmakers that it would only benefit Tehran.
41% : Iran was allowed access to billions of dollars after the Biden administration failed to enforce oil sanctions, paid out "ransom" for six hostages in late 2023, and extended a sanctions waiver so that Tehran could have access to revenues made from Iraqi energy transactions.
