Is the West doing enough to help Iranians?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Still, it comes after Iran had already developed one of the best arms games in the business.)
55% : The UN Human Rights Council says it will hold a special session to discuss Iran on Nov. 24.
51% : In addition to sanctioning Iran's drone program and increasing the pace of its ad-hoc sanctions regime, the US could go after the real powerbrokers in Iran.
48% : These new measures come on top of long-term sanctions that have sought to cut Tehran off from the global financial system in hopes of strangling Iran's most lucrative export - oil - and bringing the regime to its knees.
45% : Will their response to Iran be united and stern?
44% : Fear of execution looms large, but Iranian women continue to abandon their headscarves and chant in the streets for regime change.
44% :More substantially, the US and EU, the UK, and Canada have expanded on Western sanctions in recent weeks - in place for the better part of a decade - aimed at stopping Iran from further developing its nuclear program.
43% : Consider that in the fiscal year leading up to March 2023, Iran is expected to export 1.4 billion barrels per day, compared to around 500,000 bpd or less when former President Donald Trump was in the White House and enforced a "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran.
41% : Things are only getting more dangerous after Iran's parliament recently voted in favor of the death penalty for protesters.
38% : This suggests, analysts say, that the West, long trying to keep dialogue open with Tehran in hopes of reviving the now-defunct nuclear deal, has overseen a lax enforcement system.
35% : Despite Western sanctions intended to stop Iran from developing its military industrial complex, Iran has succeeded in building one of the world's biggest drone fleets - and is supplying the Russians with thousands of sophisticated "killer drones" that the Kremlin is using to pummel Ukraine.
32% : Clearly, Western sanctions haven't had the intended effect of cutting Iran off and making it squirm.
31% : As the human rights situation in Iran deteriorates, what's the West doing about it?
29% : A demonstrator wears elaborate face paint during a march for Mahsa (Zhina) Amini and those protesting her death in Iran.
