But wait, there's more...contradiction. chaos etc., natch...

Sanctions policy was supposed to bring Iran to the table or the regime to its knees

It failed

The administration’s apparent response: to double down on that failed policy

& in the process to run the risk of escalation or seeing Iran walk away from the nuclear deal https://t.co/jW2ckGrZSC
