That's not so.
Today I want to highlight what makes a Democrat a Democrat......but let me respond to your idea.
The sanctions were strangling them.
1. This from the Left-leaning Brookings Institute...
"....the sanctions against Iran — and the context for them internationally and within Iran — have changed dramatically. Since 2010, the sanctions’ impact on Iran has been severe: its oil exports and revenues plummeted; the value of its currency eroded; trade disruptions shuttered businesses and exacerbated inflation. Quietly, a backlash emerged among Iran’s political elites against the country’s creeping isolation, and the June 2013 presidential election ushered in a moderate new president and the beginnings of a diplomatic breakthrough on the nuclear crisis — achievements that most observers attribute to the impact of sanctions."

Question: With an Iranian economy already on the ropes, how deeply do you think that the American decision of getting out of the deal will affect the country?
Answer: The Iranian leadership have built a "resistance economy" that can withstand sanctions, so the country will manage the deprivations. Whether the Iranian people will accept increased poverty, however, is another matter. I expect it will be increasingly dissatisfied, leading to an eventual explosion.
Question: As a critic of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran, nuclear agreement, what is your evaluation of Donald Trump's nixing it? Answer: I am extremely pleased. The Iran deal brought enormous benefits to the mullahs in Tehran,

2. And now.....not how long it would take Iran, unaided by the crypto-Islamist, Hussein Obama, to attain nuclear state status....
...but IF they would EVER get nuclear weapons.
And the correct answer is no.....they would not, unaided by
the crypto-Islamist, Hussein Obama

So...a. yes, Iran is the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism
and
b. no....they would not have achieved nuclear weapons sans the terrorist-aiding drug dealing Obama had not bequeathed same to the 7th century savages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hussein Obama, cryto-Islamist, had the choice of either
awarding nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism....
or supporting the opposition to the 7th century savages.
"Iran cuts social media access as unrest turns deadly
...the biggest test for the Islamic republic since mass demonstrations in 2009.
....against the Islamic system as a whole, with slogans such as "Death to the dictator".
US President Donald Trump said the "big protests" showed people "were getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism".
Iran cuts social media access as unrest turns deadly
And he chose.....?????
4. What could Hussein Obama have done to stop Iran's blood lust for nuclear weapons?
He could have just said 'no.'
Or.......Obama could have done what Reagan did, had he actually intended to end Iran's support for terror and Islamofascism and its desire for nuclear weapons:
"...the president [Reagan] signed National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 32, which....called for aid to Solidarity, counter-propaganda in Poland, tightening of sanctions on the Soviet Union, and covert activities to achieve these objectives.
Reagan sent out 328 such 'Top Secret' directives to the diplomatic, military, and intelligence agencies during his presidency."
The President, the Pope, And the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World," p. , p.185
"Reagan .... thought the aim of American foreign policy should be not to get along with the Communist powers but
to hasten their end.
He opposed the Helsinki accords because he thought they codified the captive status of Moscow's East European satellites. He believed détente conferred a false legitimacy upon states whose governments were not installed by the consent of the governed.
He agreed with Churchill and with the Democrats' mid-century presidents that the best way to avoid a war was to be ready to fight one, and he quoted in one of his radio addresses the phrase "No nation ever saved its freedom by disarming itself in the hope of placating an enemy," from NSC-68, one of the Cold War founding documents of the Truman administration.
Thirty years earlier, these beliefs were the views of politicians of both major parties, .... Reagan's aim was to restore these views to the national dialogue, and in time he did."
Reagan in Opposition
Obama's aim was always to nuclear arm the worst of western civilization's enemies.
And he did.
".....the regime’s crisis that it shines a light on, isn’t about to end soon.
Why? Iran’s economy is in the dumps. Inflation is rampant. Analysts project a 3.9% negative growth in 2019. Iranians are suffering under America’s renewed sanctions. More frequently than ever, they challenge the regime in street protests.
So regime insiders are turning on each other. As Behnam Ben Taleblu, an Iran-watcher at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies, observes, “With factionalism rising more than ever before, the regime continues to struggle to present a unified front, as it faces pressure, both foreign and domestic.”

American has astounding economic power.
And this: guaranteeing Iran the nuclear weapons makes one a war criminal.
1. Hussein Obama:
March 6, 2012, press conference: "And what I have said is, is that we will not countenance Iran getting a nuclear weapon. My policy is not containment; my policy is to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon -- because if they get a nuclear weapon that could trigger an arms race in the region, it would undermine our non-proliferation goals, it could potentially fall into the hands of terrorists.

Non-

4. Is there precedent for the one who gave the weapons used to kill innocents, to be prosecuted????
You betcha'!!!!!
a. "Human rights lawyers say they hope the case signals a trend. In Europe's growing practice of domestic courts' taking on human rights abuses that happened far away, the accused havecommonly been foreign military or political officials, rather than local businessmen. But in December, a Dutch court sentenced a Dutch businessman, Frans van Anraat, to 15 years in prison for selling chemicals to Saddam Hussein. The chemicals were used in poison gas weapons that killed Kurdish villagers."

b. "....the provision of arms, ammunition, and other forms of military support to known human rights abusers has enabled them to carry out atrocities against civilians. The perpetrators of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide are on notice that they may be hauled before a national or international criminal tribunal to face charges."

Dutch Court Convicts Arms Dealer for Role in Liberian Atrocities.
".... an appeals court in the Netherlands
sentenced Guus Kouwenhoven, a Dutch businessman and citizen, to 19 years in prison for serving as an accessory to war crimes in
Liberia. For years, Kouwenhoven smuggled weapons into the African nation using his timber business as cover. His operation supplied Liberian war criminal Charles Taylor with weapons for use in a conflict that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives."
