U.S. Threatens New Economic War on Iran by Targeting China & Tehran's Other Top Trading Partners

The Trump administration plans to expand economic pressure on Iran by introducing new sanctions targeting Tehran's top trading partners, including China. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promised to punish any entity trading with Iran. While expert Nicholas Mulder suggests these measures primarily affect ordinary Iranians rather than the government, he warns that secondary sanctions could severely damage the U.S.-China trade truce. This strategy represents a shift toward broader psychological and rhetorical warfare to isolate the Iranian regime.
