In a recent interview, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, expressed her views on how the Biden administration should handle the escalating tensions with Iran. Haley outlined a three-step approach to deal with Iran, which included reinstating sanctions, targeting production sites of missiles in Iraq and Syria, and going after the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members who are responsible for making strategic decisions.
Haley emphasized the need to reinstate sanctions as the first step, pointing out that the Biden administration had not enforced existing sanctions effectively over the past three years. She noted concern that Iranian oil shipments and revenues had nearly returned to pre-sanction levels, indicating a lack of action on the part of the Biden administration. Haley suggested that imposing sanctions on Iran's military and Hezbollah's financial network, as announced by President Biden, was a positive step but called for a more robust approach.
