You cannot enforce sanctions on the world when you no longer manufacture nor control the flow of trade and capital. Single-use medical equipment is the last effective tool since a large amount of it is produced domestically and the demand is constant. Tech and other sanctions can be worked around quite easily.

The middle men could have accidents. If it happened about 10 times, people would stop dealing with Iranians front companies as much.

If you are going to interfere with American elections and assassinate American presidents, why would middle men be off limits?

Because the middle man can be a nuclear armed state with 1.5 billion citizens.
