Trump administration launches broad sanctions against Iran, targeting economic enablers

President Trump's administration has initiated a broad sanctions campaign against Iran, dubbed "Operation Economic Outcast." This operation involves blacklisting over 60 Iran-linked entities and expanding the scope of secondary sanctions, which could isolate Iran's foreign economic partners from the U.S. financial system. The effectiveness of this strategy hinges on its credibility, particularly concerning China's role in Iran's oil exports and whether the U.S. will enforce these sanctions against major economic players.
