Shout “maximum pressure isn’t working” all day, but that’s just a sound bite. Reality is that it’s working for now & can work in terms of outcome if the policy is sustained & not disrupted midway.

+Iran is giving away oil to Syria, which can’t access its own oil in eastern Syria
One core reason for maximum pressure on Iran and Syria is not necessarily to convince Assad to reform his regime, but to force Russia to consider the costs of Assad not reforming. Unless this is Russia propaganda, it sure looks like it’s working.

Same for pressure on Iran itself
Iran’s oil exports to Syria have increased substantially in recent weeks and currently several cargoes have reached the Baniyas port in Syria.
