Iran has demonstrated that regional powers can exert significant economic influence through strategic tactics, even under heavy international sanctions. One of the primary methods employed was the control of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for global oil supply, where Iran's closure led to oil prices soaring above $100 per barrel. This tactic effectively pressured the United States into negotiating a ceasefire. Additionally, Iran engaged in infrastructure sabotage, targeting key economic sites in the Gulf to raise costs for adversaries and deter foreign investments. Furthermore, Iran has established a 'resistance economy' to circumvent sanctions by converting surplus oil into digital currency and forming alternative trade networks with countries like Russia and China. The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about global economic growth, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warning that it may lead to a permanent slowdown. As a result, major economies are now focusing on building economic deterrence arsenals to maintain their influence in a globalized economy.
