[Jin10 Data, August 22 News, Segment] Analysts have stated that U.S. President Trump is attempting to achieve a goal that tens of thousands of bombs and missiles have failed to accomplish—forcing Iran to end the war on terms dictated by the U.S.—through a new round of sanctions, maritime blockades, and increased economic pressure on Iran's trading partners. However, this old strategy of 'forcing Iran into submission' has a critical bottleneck: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has effectively taken control of the Strait of Hormuz and has repeatedly launched large numbers of attack drones toward the Persian Gulf. The Revolutionary Guard is largely immune to economic pressure and still holds plenty of means for retaliation. The key moment in this round of U.S. actions will be Monday, when Treasury Secretary Besent is set to announce details of a new plan. This plan aims to shift the mode of conflict from mutual airstrikes in the Middle East to comprehensive economic isolation.
