Remaining Trump sanctions on Iran
The economic war launched by U.S. President Donald Trump against Iran continues, extending beyond Iran’s borders to target countries and companies that facilitate Tehran’s trade and financing, especially China, which purchases more than 80% of Iran’s oil exports. Trump promised to undertake the "most severe economic measures" aimed at isolating Iran but faces limits between his capacity to escalate and the impact of the sanctions on the U.S. economy and global markets, particularly as other nations deepen their cooperation with Tehran through payment systems not based on the dollar. Washington’s strategy now focuses on targeting foreign financial networks and intermediaries, while expanding secondary sanctions that could harm major countries like China even more. This approach threatens to raise energy prices and undermine the effectiveness of traditional sanctions.
