As an Iranian, I should mention that all the money going to Iran is not going to the Iranian people. The government will simply gobble it up, like everything else and use it to fund the resistance groups and enrich themselves.

Iranians will not benefit much, however they will benefit from sanction relief for sure. I know some of them has to pass through congress and that's virtually impossible considering the Israeli influence in the US government, but I'm hopeful that TRUMP is at least forced to remove _some_ of them.

Economical sanctions always hurt the ordinary citizens and hardly the government.

Well certainly people will benefit from the removal of sanctions, right? The research quite clearly shows that it's regular people that are most affected by them.

Believe it or not, Gallup used to conduct surveys in Iran up until 2023. For the question of "Is it a good or bad time to find a job" you can see a clear spike from 2017 to 2018 following the abrupt resumption of sanctions. It went from 68% to 92% of people saying it's a bad time to find a job

I’m curious if you are an Iranian living in Iran or an Iranian who lives abroad? This context will help me better understand your perspective
