US Dual-Pressure Strategy Tests Iran's Resilience Amid Economic Isolation

Iran is facing increased pressure from the US's dual-pressure strategy, combining economic and military measures to force Tehran to make concessions in negotiations.

The US has intensified its sanctions campaign, targeting Iran's access to the US dollar and cutting off revenue streams, including oil, digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced new secondary sanctions packages targeting Iran weekly, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that the price Iran will pay will primarily be economic.
