Description: Former US national security adviser Mark Pfeifle assesses Donald Trump’s threat of “total economic warfare” against Iran. He says China is the key test: since the war began, it has cut Iranian oil imports from about 1.5 million to 500,000 barrels a day, though it is unclear whether the shift will last. Trump has sanctioned 60 entities but not banks.
