Related: About this forumHillary was right about the Iran sanctions and the president just imposed them.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35338901But that did not stop them from crapping all over her and calling her a war monger.
Hillary and Obama know what they are doing and talking about.

Obama put sanctions on indivuals/entities, while Hillary wants to put sanctions on the entire Iran.

She did not specify the type of sanction. She made the point that more sanctions are needed.

Given that she was one of the people who crafted the strategy there, this is not surprising.

Bernies ISIS Strategy Is A Disaster
Bernie Sanders comments about getting Iran and Saudi Arabia together to fix Syria is just another example of how little he understands foreign policy.
Sen. Bernie Sanders wants Iran and Saudi Arabia to send ground troops into Syria as part of a coalition of Muslim nations to fight ISIS, an idea hes pressed multiple times as a strategy to fight Islamic extremism in the region.
Its the Middle East policy equivalent of a COEXIST bumper sticker. Sanders proposal might sound promising to foreign policy lightweightbut those with expertise in the area know that the concept is deeply troubling.
These comments indicate Sanders lack of serious engagement with foreign policy issues. While I appreciate his opposition to the Iraq War, perhaps if he was a little more engaged with that issue he would understand the problematic elements [of his proposal], said Evan Barrett, a political adviser to the Coalition for a Democratic Syria, a Syrian-American opposition umbrella group.

You shouldn't condemn an entire population for the actions of a few.
Iran is still violating UN Security Council resolutions with its ballistic missile program, which should be met with new sanctions designations and firm resolve, she said.

I think if she said she liked Snickers bars, the BS contingent here would be suddenly certain that Snickers bars were the devil.

there are still Sanctions of Human Rights Abuses.
Everyone should know that.

President Obama did mention earlier this week, based on reports, he would be sanctioning Iran for other issues but I don't recall the details
I think the issue with HRC's statement was that mentioning additional sanctions while celebrating the lifting of sanction related to the Iran Nuclear Deal was in poor taste.
But here's the thing. In the end, HRC has to do HRC.
