#IranTradeSanctions
The Cracked Mirror of the Global Economy
As 2026 begins, Iran trade sanctions have become one of the fiercest topics in global economic debates. The United States’ new sanctions, President Trump’s harsh tariff threats, and the internal pressures within Iran have turned this hashtag into more than just a diplomatic file—it has become a symbol of the fragility of global balances.
In January, the U.S. Treasury targeted nine ships and their owners, known as Iran’s “shadow fleet.” These vessels are alleged to have exported hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of oil, providing financial support to the regime. Shortly after, Trump declared that “any country trading with Iran will face an additional 25% tariff,” directly pressuring nations from China to Europe. This threat was interpreted as a heavy blow to the heart of global trade.
Inside Iran, the picture is even darker. Following the suppression of protests, thousands of people were arrested, and some business owners saw their assets seized. Ordinary citizens are struggling with soaring inflation, unemployment, and difficulties in accessing basic necessities. The continuation of sanctions raises the likelihood of a new wave of unrest within the country.
Global energy markets are also directly affected. Restrictions on Iran’s oil exports have triggered price fluctuations, particularly in Asian markets. The search for alternative sources has accelerated, and energy security has once again become a pressing issue. Diplomacy, however, remains at an impasse: Western nations view sanctions as a security guarantee, while Iran insists on economic normalization as a precondition.
