"Iran is facing sanctions at a time when it is also enduring unprecedented, simultaneous ecological, demographic, political, social, and economic problems -- for which it has no policy solution," said Roule, who now advises the Washington-based non-profit United Against Nuclear Iran. "So by denying [the regime] money, it's denying it the easy way out of handling the demands of its people. So inevitably this will undermine the stability of the regime and produce some sort of a conversation."
