I can promise you it wasn't the Branden administration that did it.

Does this harm the regime or the people more? If it's the people, and the regime can blame a state actor for their misery, this will have the effect of strengthening the regime's grip on power.

What works best with oppressive regimes is to empower the people. To give them a taste of what they're missing. Sanctions simply make oppressive regimes stronger by giving them an external enemy to channel their people's hate and misery towards. Sanctions haven't helped in North Korea, Cuba, Russia, and they're not helping in Iran.

Sanctions are what you implement towards another country if you need to sell something to your own population. Having an external enemy has the great effect of uniting your people under your banner, and sanctions are the best way to keep the problem lingering instead of solving it.


ETA: You want to actually solve the Iran threat? Unite the people against the regime.

For the average Iranian, having no gas would serve to further alienate them from those in charge.

Not if the reason for not having gas can be pointed to a foreign actor.

The average Iranian is probably as used to their government lying to them as we are.
Their interest is in having gas, not excuses.

Kinda related my buddy was saying how team brandon basically gave the green light to Iran to have nukes and that is going to happen soon
I did reply you think that Israel is just going to let that happen you will see LOTS of shut downs cyberattacks and other things along the way and NOT letting it happen

Hahahhaha this was great news :)

There is a country that excels at shit like this, I think it's called Stuxnet or something and I think it's near Sweden. But that's all I really know.

The better move would be that the guy pulls up, inserts the hose and it sucks the remaining gas out of their tanks.
That's some straight up Benny Hill shit right there.

The vast majority of the Iranian people want the wack jobs gone for a variety of reasons. First they are tired of being oppressed. Second they are having a large number of people leaving a transplanted religion Islam and going back to the religions native to Iran.

So believe me they will focus the rage on the regime.
