And the sanctions regime that brought Iran to the table in the first place was very difficult to forge, so that won't be duplicated ever again.

Oh that’s awful it was so difficult to forge your apparatus for terrorizing the Iranian people.

China and Russia also had sanctions. It was extremely hard to put together, but competing powers all agreed that they didn't want another nuclear armed power mixed in with the mess in the Middle East.
