The Other Cost of Shredding Sanctions

The Iran Deal Will Have Disastrous Non-Nuclear Consequences, Too, National Review Online, July 23, 2015. "So far, the most intense criticism of the Obama administration’s deal with Iran has focused on its wildly imbalanced nuclear provisions, under which, in exchange for limited inspections, Iran gets to keep many of its centrifuges, its entire nuclear infrastructure, its research and development programs, and its ballistic-missile program, among many other things. This criticism is certainly warranted, but the deal will have consequences beyond the realm of nuclear weapons: The fate of the regime of Western sanctions on Iran matters just as much, because those sanctions have wide-ranging global implications."
