Trump pune presiune pe Iran, dar mai există un „colac de salvare”

In August, the U.S. announced a significant financial offensive against Iran, aiming to isolate it economically. However, an analysis by The Washington Institute highlights a critical oversight: the role of China, which is Iran's largest oil buyer. The authors argue that U.S. sanctions may not effectively impact Iran without addressing China's involvement. China has increased its oil imports from Iran and has a legal framework to retaliate against U.S. sanctions. Despite U.S. threats, China remains unfazed and prioritizes its economic stability, especially in light of its own challenges. The analysis concludes that without serious pressure on China, U.S. efforts to weaken Iran may fall short.
