Sanctions don’t apply to Iranians in the US, and not everyone in Iran is Iranian (or even Arab); so sanctions are not “racist”, they’re levied against political leadership.

The idea is to get the population to put pressure on the leaders.

Not sure if it has worked, but I am sure Russia is unhappy with the unrest that sanctions have caused.
