Is Iran weaker today due to sanctions?
In this episode of Energy Vista, Leslie Palti-Guzman sits down with geoeconomic expert Rachel Ziemba to unpack the use of US economic statecraft against Iran in an era of shadow fleets and great-power fragmentation.
We discuss:
• How much of Iran’s current economic and political weakness is actually driven by sanctions
• China’s decisive role in sustaining Iranian, Russian, and Venezuelan crude exports
• The rise of a sanctions-evasion ecosystem linking Iran, Russia, and Venezuela
• Whether the Houthis’ disruption of Red Sea shipping indirectly enables sanctioned oil trade
• Has the US overstretched its economic statecraft tools?
At stake is more than Iran. This is about the durability of US financial power, the fragmentation of global energy markets, and whether sanctions remain leverage.
