First, Sanders called for just about all Iran sanctions RESCINDED.

https://jewishjournal.com/news/united-states/312425/bernie-sanders-calls-for-u-s-to-rescind-iran-sanctions-because-of-coronavirus/

That went nowhere fast.

Then, according to your article and despite its deceptive headline, Sanders "joined 33 other lawmakers [and Biden] in a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanding he allow for shipments of humanitarian assistance to Iran."

The difference between "rescinding sanctions" and "allowing for shipment of humanitarian assistance" should be apparent to any journalist, even those working for Democracy Now.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
