Tehran is preparing for a potential escalation in economic and diplomatic pressure following threats from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to impose severe tariffs on nations moving away from the U.S. dollar. Iran, a member of the BRICS group, has indicated it will continue its policy of de-dollarization through strengthened ties with Moscow and Beijing. While Washington signals a return to a “maximum pressure” campaign, Iranian leadership maintains that the country has developed alternative trade routes and financial systems to mitigate the impact of renewed sanctions and international isolation.
- President-elect Donald Trump has proposed 100% tariffs on BRICS nations if they move to replace the U.S. dollar in global trade.
- Iran recently became a member of the BRICS group and continues to advocate for de-dollarization in its international transactions.
- The Iranian government is seeking to expand its economic and military cooperation with Russia and China to offset U.S. pressure.
- Potential strategies from Tehran include the continued use of “shadow fleets” to export oil despite the threat of stricter sanctions enforcement.
- Iranian officials have stated that the country’s economy is now better prepared for international pressure than during previous U.S. administrations.

6:20 Is he honestly saying that Iran is not explicitly targeting UAE, Qatari, Saudi, Bahraini, Azeri, and Kuwaiti non military sites? No targeting of desalination plants? Oil infrastructure? Civilian sites?
Oh no! Dad’s gonna count to ten!😂. Again!😂
I am going to huff and puff and blow your house down, says Donald Trump. Ok, ignore him. His huff and puff can barely blow out a birthday candle.
Vietnam digged tunnels in the jungle, Iran digs tunnels in the dessert …

48-hour ultimatum? Is geopolitics an Amazon delivery? It is war crime to destroy civilian infrastructure.
The dictator
Trump attacking Iranian citizens "as to break down the ties between the people and the government" ????????
Targeting civilian infrastructure like the US is doing a warcrime and against the geneva convention.
WOW! The Epstein files must be bad!

It makes it more dangerous this time is because we're dealing with a mad man in the White House.
Trump likes to box himself in a corner until he doesn't even have an off ramp to back out. Iran will destroy those arab family dictatorships completely and the Strait will be of no use even when it gets opened.
Americans must just impeach Trump or unalive him and that'll save them lots of trouble.
Trump needs a psychiatrist, he is going completely insane , people elected him for peace and he started world war 3 🤦🏼♀️
I dont know how bombing a hotel in the gulf counts, as collateral damage and not an targeted attack, dont know why the host felt to make it sound like collateral damage
Yes, Trump is openly saying he will commit war crimes. Again.
The world is now an even smaller place.
Trump's brain degraded
You are so wrong about thinking this war made people united by regime. We are waiting for strikes to bevended to flood into streets
If their smart Tehran will smoke a whole bunch of marijuana to ease the pain
Trump threatening to commit war crime? Perhaps US shouldn't have voted in a convicted felon 😀
what if trump and netanyahu begin assasinating german leaders in the future? Isn't it in their interest for germans to change loyalties?
