        even in this statement

        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.

          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
