The United States primarily imposes sanctions on countries such as Iran and Cuba because they do not align with American interests. If that were not the case, why wouldn't the U.S. place sanctions on countries like Saudi Arabia [1] and Israel [2, 3], despite the abundance of reports from reputable international human rights organizations citing human rights violations in these countries? The issue of human rights is merely an excuse.

The U.S. doesn’t say “something” about communism or the hijab and sanction a country, they see how oppressive a country is. Cuba and Venezuela are extremely corrupt countries, and Iran forces their people to follow oppressive laws, especially for women. If the U.S. happens to gain some benefit from sanctions, so be it, but that doesn’t mean that’s the main motive behind them.
