Sanctions

While Mandela supported sanctions against the apartheid regime, there were those in the West (mostly on the right) who opposed them by arguing that sanctions would only hurt poor black people. We all know that the opponents of sanctions against the apartheid regime couldn't care less about poor South Africans but worried about their trade with that country. In the same way, many who oppose sanctions against IR worry more about their UAE - based businesses than ordinary Iranians. Now that more countries are joining the sanctions, you see folks who never said a word about the misery of the Iranians in all these years are sticking their heads out and crying bloody murder!
