According to the BBC foreign trade with Iran was be stopped from March, cutting all exports and imports to 80 million people.
This is because SWIFT, the monopoly banking agency will no longer permit money exchange, due to US and UK sanction pressure. The unilateral US moves are totally illegal under international law.
No country can be self sufficient, food, industry, medicines,.. almost everything we use has imported components.
This is barbaric trade war with no UN approval. The US is 1000’s of times stronger than Iran, militarily, and only interested in controlling their oil, not their hypothetical nuclear bomb, indeed the US has helped sell Israel, India and Pakistan the bomb, and all these countries have a history of attacking their neighbours.
The BBC says the SWIFT sanctions will stop trade, but of course they are financed by the neo imperialist UK regime. Both the Chinese and the Russians want to continue trading, if they can find a way.
Nobody with any sense can support national/religious states like Iran or Israel, but vicious and violent economic attacks on Iran will only strengthen the government, as happened many times before.
Iran as a nation has existed for 4000 years, and will continue when these insane capitalist and religious bullies have disappeared.
