EE. UU. amplía sanciones contra Irán, Teherán está preparado

El 25 de agosto, Estados Unidos anunció la ampliación de sanciones dirigidas a las redes financieras y al comercio de petróleo de Irán, mientras funcionarios iraníes afirmaron estar preparados para ellas. El 17 de agosto, el secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, detalló un nuevo paquete que incluye sanciones a países que importan crudo iraní, señalando a China como posible objetivo, y reforzó la presión económica sobre Teherán. El presidente Donald Trump había advertido previamente de una represalia económica severa e incluso de posibles reanudaciones limitadas de ataques aéreos, instando a los aliados a cortar relaciones comerciales con Irán.

Los Emiratos Árabes Unidos suspendieron todo el comercio con Irán, y China condenó las sanciones como acciones unilaterales ilegales. Anteriormente, funcionarios estadounidenses habían considerado medidas adicionales contra refinadoras y bancos chinos, y Irán había advertido de una respuesta “sísmica” contra cualquier nación que apoyara las sanciones.
