US officials: Sanctions may hit Iran harder than attacks
Reports have confirmed that U.S. economic sanctions may be more effective in weakening the Iranian regime than military operations. Washington is focusing on pressuring Iran to negotiate through financial sanctions and a maritime blockade, with expectations that these sanctions could take longer to produce results compared to military strikes. The Trump administration continues to support diplomacy while keeping all military options on the table in case Iranian threats to the Strait of Hormuz persist. Despite Iran's oil revenues exceeding expectations by $23 billion in the first half of the year, analysts suggest that financial pressure helps reduce Iran's ability to pay fighters' salaries. This reflects a shift in influence away from the military toward the finance ministry, while keeping military action as a potential leverage point for Washington.
