O novo mapa das sanções de Washington chega à América LatinaVenezuela, Cuba e Nicarágua mantêm vínculos com Teerã enquanto os Estados Unidos ampliam o alcance de sua estratégia econômica.A nova campanha dos Estados Unidos contra o Irã está levando o confronto econômico para um território que também pode afetar a América Latina. Em 24 de agosto, o Departamento do Tesouro dos Estados Unidos anunciou a Operation Economic Outcast, uma iniciativa destinada a restringir as fontes de receita de Teerã e desarticular as redes internacionais que permitem sua manutenção. A primeira rodada atingiu quase 60 pessoas, empresas e embarcações relacionadas ao petróleo iraniano, à aquisição de equipamentos militares e nucleares, a operações cibernéticas e a mecanismos utilizados para contornar sanções. As medidas também incluem os setores de aviação, transporte marítimo, tecnologia, ouro e ativos digitais na estratégia de pressão. |
