Molavi: Focus on Applying Iran Sanctions on Trade Allies

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to outline new economic sanctions targeting Iran's trading partners, aiming to pressure Tehran into accepting a deal favorable to the US. Afshin Molavi, a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins University's Foreign Policy Institute, discussed the potential implications of these sanctions on the ongoing conflict. This move underscores the US's intent to leverage economic pressure to shape the outcome of the war, reflecting a broader strategy to influence regional dynamics. Such developments are crucial as they could reshape trade relationships and international diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
