Why not lift sanctions on Iran and led them flow oil freely? Won't that keep oil prices low?
Because it will give Iran a lot of money to further develop its nuclear program and fund its militias in Yemen, Iran, Syria and Lebanon and causing instability throughout the Middle East. You risk Iran and Saudi Arabia getting into a nuclear arms race, as well as Israel taking matters into its own hands and bombing Iran, you also risk a region-wide showdown between Sunni and Shia militants, leading to death and destruction - and increasing oil prices for Americans, even if they don't care about the human cost.
