Economic pressure on Iran: "Sooner or later, it's going to be strangled"

CNN Portugal10 September 2026 at 12:02

Iran maintains the capacity to attack, but faces growing economic pressure that could lead Tehran to give in. The article's title states that "sooner or later, the country will be strangled" by this pressure.

Colonel José Carmo is presented as a specialist who explains why he believes that if the United States maintains its economic pressure strategy, Iran will inevitably end up giving in.

The American strategy is based on economic pressure as a way to force Iran to negotiate or modify its behavior, instead of resorting to direct military confrontation.

The article suggests that although Iran still maintains military and attack capabilities, the country's long-term economic sustainability is in question, which could force Tehran to make concessions.
