TB, sanctions are not going to compel Iran to do what many want Iran to do about its nuclear program. The application of sanctions, no matter how comprehensive or how dire their effects upon Iran's economy, can only be relatively brief. Unless such sanctions occasion a change in Iran's government, Iran can wait until the sanctions decrease or expire and then reengage their nuclear efforts years down the road.

What is never mentioned during any talk shows or news broadcasts is the inevitability of war with Iran if the West's non-belligerent remedies fail.
