US Deports Iranians, Still Sanctions Their Country Dry
The New Arab notes Iran awaits a second plane carrying its citizens deported from the US, part of an ongoing pattern. The Biden administration maintains this dehumanizing act while simultaneously upholding crippling sanctions on Iran, preventing basic goods and economic stability. It's a double whammy: punish the country so severely its people seek refuge, then deport them back to the very
conditions created by US policy. One might wonder if 'humanitarian concern' extends beyond political talking points. This isn't new; the US severed ties with Iran in 1980, piling on sanctions for decades, yet has somehow remained 'surprised' by their citizens seeking opportunities elsewhere. Perhaps if Washington focused less on enforcing economic warfare and more on fostering stability, there
wouldn't be such a steady supply of people to deport. Or is the goal just to prove the 'Great Satan' can be both the cause and arbiter of suffering?
