What happened
The U.S. government has been expanding sanctions targeting Iran and entities supporting the regime through an operation called Economic Outcast. This economic pressure operation followed months of military conflict between the United States and Iran. The operation aims to achieve 'complete global isolation' for Iran.

Why it matters
The operation targets various sectors, including Iran’s shipping, aviation, technology, gold, and digital asset sectors. Experts note that governments can utilize geographical chokepoints, such as the Strait of Hormuz, to exert control over economies.
The global economy has become increasingly susceptible to geopolitical pressures, with leaders noting the use of economic tools like tariffs and sanctions.
