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. Under this view, targeted enforcement actions like the Shelbit and Aban Tether sanctions can coexist with broader relief, since punishing specific sanctions evasion is different from abandoning diplomacy altogether.
