SUA: UE s-a alăturat oficial campaniei pentru izolarea economică a Iranului

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the European Union has officially joined the "Economic Outcast" operation aimed at pressuring Iran. The initiative, launched on August 24, seeks to limit Iran's access to financial resources and the international financial system. The U.S. has imposed sanctions on over 60 entities linked to Iran's oil revenue and military programs. Economic pressure is reportedly impacting Iran, with a significant drop in oil exports and a record low for the Iranian rial. However, the strategy faces challenges, particularly regarding China's role as a major buyer of Iranian oil, which the U.S. has avoided targeting directly.
