sanctions
Discussion centred on whether sanctions and blockades are successfully isolating Iran: Robin Brooks described them as increasingly effective and pushing the economy toward collapse 91122, while David Hunter said Iran had been cornered and lost leverage over oil flows 19. Other items highlighted sanctions’ unintended market effects, including disrupted tanker routes, diesel scarcity and higher shipping rates 414, and questioned whether enforcement can prevent sanctioned oil from being relabelled or rerouted 6. The evidence also showed sanctions producing mixed outcomes: the US targeted Russian-linked financial networks 18, but a sanctioned conflict-gold trader’s network continued to prosper 1216.
