US sanctions and....

 How many nations throughout the world are currently under US sanctions? Which nation has the longest history of US sanctions?

The countries that have been subject to Western sanctions the longest include Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. We're still here after all these years. But what about the sanctions and "punishing the regime"? You are damaging my paycheck, not Raisi or Ayatollah Khamenei.

We may be able to find a diplomatic solution to many of the problems in the region and put an end to the suffering of innocent civilians as a result of these criminal actions the day that people realise that sanctions don't work.
