According to reports, the “economic D-Day operation” that the U.S. Treasury has launched against Iran’s crisis-hit economy has quickly begun to show its effects. In addition to the maritime restrictions imposed by the United States, after the start of a new round of sanctions, a number of neighboring or closely connected countries to Iran have also imposed severe limitations on the entry and transit of Iranian goods.

The United Arab Emirates, even despite the fact that costs and fees have increased several-fold, is refusing to load some of Iran’s smaller dhows. In addition, Iran’s railroad has announced that, due to the restrictions imposed for transit through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, rail shipment of goods along routes in Russia and China has been halted.

According to these reports, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan have also blocked Iranian trucks from crossing their borders. Pakistan, too, by imposing heavy tariff charges—about 2 billion tomans per truck—prevents the transit of cargo trucks.

These developments, alongside the blockage or restriction of access to revenues obtained from oil sales in intermediary international banks, have further worsened Iran’s economic conditions in recent days.
