Um, in the spirit of “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” lifting sanctions on Iranian oil does not make Iran any money at all. It just lowers prices in the country implementing the tariffs, the USA. The tariffs are the dumb idea, lifting them is good, even in this case.
(I know there are circumstances where tariffs are good. This does not seem to be one of them.)
Um. Lifting the sanctions lets tankers carrying Iranian oil sell it on the global market and then turn around and buy more from Iran. How does that not make Iran money?

You seem to be conflating sanctions and tariffs. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?

Sorry to @jonathan and you. The original reports were about tariffs, but that makes little sense. You are both absolutely right.
