The sanctions are meant to ultimately make Iranians suffer because the opposition has failed to over throw the Iranian government as the West was much hoping for.
What is emerging is the conviction on the opposition side that yet again it was proved that huan rights and democracy wishes for the West for the Iranian people and others are nothing but tools to further hegemony of the West into third world and developing countries. Iranian opposition should have arrived at such concusions a long time ago if they only paid a minute attention to the countries under US inflence in the region and their progress (or lack of it) in their human rights and democracy programs.
