Trump's economic warfare on Iran

This pivot to economic warfare aims to choke Iran's remaining revenue streams and force the regime to accept a new nuclear deal.

The Treasury Department has already sanctioned over a dozen entities tied to the network of Iranian oil kingpin Hossein Shamkhani.

While the administration claims this approach will avoid a full-scale military invasion, critics warn it could further destabilize global energy markets and harm civilian populations.

The strategy also includes a strict naval blockade of Iranian ports, which has already significantly reduced ship traffic in the region.
