Iran-Krieg: Was steckt hinter Trumps Drohung mit einem Wirtschaftskrieg?

In recent news, US President Donald Trump threatened an unprecedented economic war against Iran, citing growing frustration over the lack of progress in resolving the nearly six-month conflict.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has stopped all trade and financial transactions with Iran for now, affecting the significant bilateral trade worth billions of US dollars.

However, it's unclear if other countries will follow the UAE's lead. China, Iran's largest trading partner, may not reciprocate the ban. Iran remains dismissive of Trump's threats, as the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial chokepoint, is of paramount importance to the Islamic Republic.
