I suppose deep down that understand that economic sanctions take time......especially when other countries continue to seek appeasement. But Iran’s recent behavior reveals unmistakable signs that they are feeling the intended pressure.
Now, what you don’t see wrt internal fomentation to compliment the external pressure is making their life miserable. Perhaps they decide it’s not worth the hassle. If not, they are an easier target for an Israeli strike (or us).
Either way, the cash reserves that they forfeited through bad behavior which the Amater gave back to them will give them reserves to hold out longer.
