Trump shifts Iran conflict focus to China and Russia
Donald Trump's strategy of economically isolating Iran is escalating, shifting from direct targeting of its resources to punishing the countries and companies that do business with it. This approach relies on sanctions and tightened restrictions aimed at weakening Iran's economy. Measures include imposing bans on ports and oil exports, with an effort to significantly reduce Iran's oil shipments, which declined to approximately 294,000 barrels per day in August compared to 1.7 million barrels in 2025. Despite American pressures, China and Russia continue to support Iran in covert ways; Beijing still purchases about half of its oil needs from Iran at discounted prices, while Moscow and Tehran are increasing their cooperation and exchanging expertise to evade sanctions. This makes it difficult for Washington to achieve its goal of fully isolating Tehran. The Iranian economy suffers from inflation nearing 70% and a decline in purchasing power, yet Iran’s ability to circumvent sanctions still leaves the outcome uncertain.
