But I believe that these new sanctions could endanger the very important nuclear agreement that was signed between the United States, its partners and Iran in 2015. That is not a risk worth taking, particularly at a time of heightened tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia and its allies.
I’m not finding any evidence that Sanders has ever voted for a sanction in a final bill. It kind of doesn’t matter anyway, because the president just unilaterally imposes sanctions, it seems.
I saw him answer that question by saying that he’s against sanctions on principle, look at how much damage they’re doing to Cuba etc. Unreal.
Even though he voted for sanctions on official bad guy countries like Russia and Venezuela.
Did he actually? I’m not finding record of this
He says he’s a big fan idk though https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/sanders-statement-on-iran-and-russia-sanctions/
even in this statement

If he says he supports them in principle but opposes this instance, then the original comment where he says he opposes them on principle is false
