The United States imposed sanctions on Iran and China announced it will not join these sanctions, refusing to participate in the economic embargo. Francisco Pereira Coutinho, commentator at CNN Portugal, analyzed the consequences of this decision.
The commentator warned that China's refusal to sanction Iran will undermine the effectiveness of the economic embargo imposed by the United States. The American economic stranglehold depends largely on international support to exert pressure on the targeted country. Without China's cooperation, Iran's main trading partner, the impact of the sanctions will be significantly reduced. This situation highlights the limitations of the United States' unilateral strategy in the international economic landscape.
