"Open Magazine" wrote in an analytical report that the United States’ new campaign to cut the lifelines of the Islamic Republic’s economy could be met with a response from Tehran in the Strait of Hormuz, increasing shipping and insurance costs and the price of energy, and returning part of the economic pressure to the United States and other countries.

Based on this report, Washington intends to pressure banks, shipping companies, insurers, and countries that continue trade with the Islamic Republic. In response, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, has threatened that if “economic warfare” continues, it will not be allowed to export “even a single drop of oil” from the Persian Gulf.

"Open Magazine" wrote that for the Islamic Republic to apply pressure, it does not necessarily need to stop all oil tankers, and that the threat to seize or limit the passage of ships could increase global costs.

The outlet concluded that the United States hopes its economic pressure on the Islamic Republic will take effect faster, while Tehran is counting on increasing the costs of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz for the global economy.
