Others argue the June 2026 agreement and its phased sanctions relief represent the more realistic path to lasting stability, noting that easing oil and shipping restrictions helped end the brief U.S.-Iran war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and secure Iran's agreement to readmit international nuclear inspectors.

A third perspective holds that the outcome depends less on whether sanctions are eased or enforced than on whether relief is tightly conditioned and independently verified, with automatic "snapback" sanctions if Iran violates its inspection or nuclear commitments. Advocates of this middle path see Treasury's parallel approach, easing broad oil sanctions while still targeting specific IRGC financial networks, as reasonable, provided Congress and international monitors retain real enforcement mechanisms to hold Iran accountable.
