Jeremy Paner Analyzes Trump Administration's Renewed Economic Pressure Against Iran with Bloomberg
The U.S. is increasing economic pressure on Iran through sanctions and other measures.
Highlights
The article examines whether further sanctions on buyers of Iranian oil and financial intermediaries could increase pressure on Tehran.
Paner noted that the U.S. has added approximately 2,200 sanctions on Tehran since 2018, including around 350 imposed as part of the "Economic Fury" initiative.
Paner observed that additional restrictions on channels used to repatriate proceeds from Iranian oil sales may not achieve the administration's broader objectives.
Jeremy Paner spoke with Bloomberg about the Trump administration's renewed focus on economic pressure against Iran, including the use of sanctions and other measures aimed at restricting the country's oil revenues and access to global financial markets.
In the article, Paner noted that the United States has added approximately 2,200 sanctions on Tehran since 2018, including around 350 imposed under Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's "Economic Fury" campaign.
He also discussed the role of exchange houses and other intermediaries in helping Iran return funds from oil sales, explaining that additional restrictions on those channels may not be sufficient on their own to achieve the administration's broader objectives.
“Will that get Iran to capitulate? Likely not on its own,” Paner said.
