Israeli Expert: U.S. Sanctions on Iran Have Been Effective
(Sputnik-Russia) Elizabeth Blade - Col. (ret.) Dr. Ephraim Kam, a former deputy director of Israel's Institute for National Security Studies who served in the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence, says that U.S. sanctions on Iran have been "effective in weakening" the government in Tehran. "Although America's 'maximum pressure policy' didn't speak of collapsing the regime, it did want to apply increasing pressure on that country [to weaken it]. The government in Tehran is sensitive to what's happening on the ground. For them, the concern is not only their economy but also the civil unrest that they are trying to prevent."
