I am not saying that either Iran or Saudi Arabia should be able to X, Y or Z. I'm not going for a "the Saudis do it so Iran should too" argument. Rather, I am simply saying that the sanctions themselves are just an…

Oh, wow, really? Interesting. I'll have to try that later. Is it all group chats or ones over a certain size?
