The campaign has been criticized by foreign policy outlets as being poorly conceived and counterproductive to other American foreign policy goals. David Wallsh, writing for the Atlantic Council, posited that "an exclusively punitive policy unaccompanied by diplomatic off-ramps incentivizes Tehran to fight fire with fire by imposing costs on its perceived aggressors."[10] Sina Toossi, a senior analyst for the National Iranian American Council, further identified that the program may be largely ineffective in achieving diplomatic goals, with Iran's growing resilience to sanctions as well as the rise of hard-liners in the Iranian government who have little desire to engage diplomatically with the United States' demands.[11]
