If they don't follow through with their commitment, will the US Go back to imposing sanctions and the blockade, or does Iran get to keep some of the concessions that it has already? Well, first of all, The sanctions are still on. With the exception of the oil sanctions, which I talked about were no longer effective. The purpose of the oil sanctions is to drive down how much Iran is charging for a price for a barrel of oil. Those sanctions had stopped being effective. (26:47–26:54)
