Read this reportBeijing says it will take ‘all necessary measures’ to protect its interests as US steps up efforts to isolate Tehran Explainer: could US sanctions threaten China-Iran ties? China has denounced the threat of US sanctions for its trade with Iran, saying any such measures would be illegal, and warned it would take “all necessary measures” to protect its national interests. Beijing’s rejection of the US threat of secondary sanctions for any country or entity continuing to trade with Tehran had been predicted. China buys an estimated 80% of Iran’s oil exports and has defied previous US efforts t...
Read this reportUS sanctions experts say the Trump administration's new campaign to economically isolate Iran could be an effective escalation -- but only if Washington backs its threats with action. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled what he called “Operation Economic Outcast” on August 24, describing it as an unprecedented effort to force Iran's trading partners to choose between maintaining commercial ties with Tehran and access to the US financial system. Yet Bessent announced few immediate measures, leaving the central question unresolved:…

Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Imran Bayoumi, Deputy Director & Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council. He sees the Trump administration’s new sanctions strategy toward Iran as an attempt to seek economic leverage where military force has so far failed to produce any results. But its effectiveness rests on several unresolved assumptions. Chief among them is whether Washington can compel China, Iran’s largest oil customer, to comply despite Beijing’s growing economic resilience. Iran, meanwhile, has decades of experience curtailing sanctions and is again threatening regional escalation.

President Trump's "economic D-Day" for Iran came and went Monday with little of the shock or awe it promised, amounting instead to yet another extended ultimatum. Why it matters: Operation Economic Outcast will unfold not like the Allied invasion of Normandy, but as a sweeping, slow-burn sanctions campaign that could eventually lock Iran's foreign enablers out of the U.S. financial system. Zoom in: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent kicked off the operation by blacklisting more than 60 Iran-linked targets and widening the reach of secondary sanctions. "Every country has a defined timeline to ...

President Trump is escalating economic pressure on Tehran more than six months into the Iran war, aiming to squeeze Iranian leaders into submission. Why it matters: Trump's campaign could test how much economic pain Iran is willing to take before its leaders tap out. Driving the news: Trump declared last week that Iran would face an "economic D-Day" amid the ongoing war. The president has been adamant that Iran's economy is "COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled a plan Monday to cripple Iran's economy in what he called the "single greatest financial offensive e...

Washington launches campaign to isolate Tehran but it is unclear whether it will apply measures to China The US has threatened to impose severe sanctions against any country or entity maintaining economic ties with Iran, hoping to achieve with economic measures what military means have so far failed to do. It is unclear, however, how far the Trump administration is prepared to go in confronting China, Iran’s biggest trading partner, which has signalled its resistance to US economic pressure to cut off links with an ally.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Monday that the U.S. will impose punishing sanctions on countries and entities that do business with Iran — an attempt to bring the country to heel absent renewed military strikes. Why it matters: The plan, which Bessent dubbed "Operation Economic Outcast," is aimed at ratcheting up pressure on the Iranian regime amid the current "no war, no deal" limbo. U.S. officials say the expanded "secondary" sanctions are expected to be the main course of action against Iran until at least after the midterm elections, when a new military campaign could aga...
