US Economic Blockade on Iran May Fail Due to Shifts in Regional Landscape
The United States has launched an operation called 'Economic Outcast', aiming to cut off Iran's financial links worldwide. This is the largest economic offensive against Iran, described as more forceful than any previous campaign. The US is seeking to limit every potential source of revenue that funds Iran.
However, this approach reflects another failure for the United States resulting from its war with Iran. The region has become more complex since Donald Trump's first term, and China and Qatar have declared no intention of complying with illegal sanctions.
Iran has developed an extensive system to circumvent sanctions by using intermediaries in various countries and complex financial networks. China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil and represents a key factor limiting the effectiveness of any sanctions regime against Iran.
