China crucial to Iran's economic strategy
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin pledged to impose harsh economic sanctions on Iran, describing it as a "day of economic landing" against Tehran, aimed at striking its financial sources. However, achieving this goal requires escalating tensions with China, which is Iran's largest trading partner, purchasing up to 90% of Iranian oil exports. Experts fear that this escalation could damage U.S.-China relations, especially with a scheduled upcoming visit by President Donald Trump to China. The possibility of implementing these sanctions remains unlikely due to concerns over escalating crises between the two countries.
