Harvard Law’s Jack Goldsmith says the administration likely lacks the authority, but any legal challenge is “likely to fail” for lack of standing. A former Treasury official cautioned full sanctions unwinding and US firms entering Iran’s market remains far off, requiring complex legal changes and private-sector buy-in​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.@IntelSlava
