The problem with unilateral sanctions was always that it was possible to get around t hem by going through other countries. Dick Cheney among other Americans used that loophole.

Unilaterally withdrawing from the deal was an amateur blunder. No amount of posturing will help. In my opinion, the big danger right now is that we would take unilateral military action.
