WorldWho are Iran’s top trading partners the US would need to target to isolate it?

The US is seeking to cut Iran off from the global economy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a new sanctions wave, dubbed “Operation Economic Outcast”, covering nearly 60 entities, people and vessels and extending secondary sanctions to shipping, gold, aviation, technology and digital assets. Official figures show Iran exported about $56bn to at least 112 countries and territories in 2024 and imported $68.5bn from at least 87, with trade increasingly oriented towards Asian and regional partners.
