U.S. Economic Pressure on Iran
The U.S. is exerting economic pressure on Iran through naval blockades and sanctions, aiming to damage its oil exports and disrupt maritime trade. This strategy, known as 'maximum pressure,' is intended to change Iran's policy or lead to regime change.

Despite the pressure, Iran's Revolutionary Guards believe they can endure longer than their rivals, hoping international pressure will ease sanctions.
