They knew the sanctions were causing their misery, but they saw the logic that their government's defiance was causing the sanctions.

So at the close of this third and final moment in our economic history of Iran, Iran came to the negotiating table and agreed to a nuclear accord.

What we in this country call the Iran nuclear deal was finally negotiated under President Obama in 2015.

The U.S.

would remove its nuclear targeted sanctions, provide economic relief, and in exchange.

After the break, the other side of that triumph.

So the U.S.

and other countries had made a deal with Iran.

Iran would roll back its nuclear program and the U.S.

would de-escalate sanctions and provide Iran with economic relief.

The first problem showed up when the U.S.

wanted to reward Iran for negotiating with the U.S.

So the U.S.

had to remove some sanctions and the economic pain it was inflicting and give Iran its frozen money back.

Like, we told you to stop doing business there.

Now we are telling you to start again.

Thank you so much.

And the response from the banks was not exactly cooperation.

And to some extent, the U.S.

can't seem to undo the sanctions properly because of its own lofty American ideals.
