American Economic and Financial Power and the Iran File (featuring Juan Zarate)
Manage episode 501384034 series 3656060
Missiles cripple armies, but sanctions topple regimes.
Juan Zarate, the strategist who pioneered U.S. financial warfare, joins Mark to break down how sanctions and isolation bled Iran’s economy and forced concessions—and how the dollar became Washington’s weapon of choice against Tehran, reshaping the regime’s choices and the future of American power. Together, they unpack how the US turned the global financial system into a battlefield, cutting off Iran’s banks, oil revenues, and shadow networks—and why this economic arsenal still spearheads the struggle with the Islamic Republic today.
