Commentary: Cutting off negotiations, and turning against voices who have warned against the impact of sanctions on Iranian civil society, is a dangerous path.
A file picture obtained by AFP outside Iran shows a demonstrator making the victory sign during a protest for Mahsa Amini, a woman who reportedly died after being arrested by the Islamic republic's"morality police", in Tehran on Sept. 19, 2022.have proponents for military force calling on the United States to take similar action. They believe that the best way to “free” Iranians is by blowing up Iran.
Back then, I thought only of revenge. I believed that the United States and United Nations’ sanctions against the regime were the only solution that could stop the regime’s brutality and help democratic forces inside Iran. I changed my mind when I saw the impact of sanctions.When I was in Turkey as a refugee, I knew many whose lives depended on receiving financial support from their families in Iran.
Fast-forward to today, and Iranians are facing a new wave of brutal repression in response to their righteous demands for justice. Following the killing of Mahsa Amini in September, hundreds of people have been killed, and tens of thousands have been detained.
There are no shortcuts to building the power of the people of Iran at the expense of the authoritarian government of Iran. Regrettably, the U.S. has made many wrong turns because being tough on Iran is more politically popular than supporting the people of Iran.

When Cutting Costs, Don’t Lose Sight of Long-Term Organizational HealthAfter three years of adapting to disrupted business conditions due to the pandemic, the aftermath of inflation and fears of recession have leaders scrambling to get budgets in line with slower revenue growth.
