The point of doing this is to make the citizenry unhappy with the government causing the mess for them. The ideal case is that they force change so that the sanctions go away. But depending on local propaganda, that may or may not work.

Almost universally, the citizenry will actually be even more angered towards the Americans too. From what my friends tell me, this is largely the case in Iran. It doesn't help that the US is sanctioning alone.
