Even if I'm remembering wrong, economic sanctions take more than just the US anyway. Look at Cuba. We sanctioned them decades ago. Did it hurt? Sure. Did it end the Cuban way of life? No. Why? Because it was us beating our chests.
Countries like Russia, China, and even France agreed to sanctions to get Iran to the negotiation table. However they did not agree with unlimited sanctions that would allow us to demand that Iran never have any type of nuclear power.
Iran is never going to agree to give up all their sovereignty on this issue, and we have no right to say that no other country can have nuclear power.
Besides Iran is no threat to us. We are basically negotiating on behalf of Israel.
