Amir Ali Abolfath, an expert on American affairs, believes that after 47 years, sanctions have become an ineffective tool against Iran. In his recent discussions, he pointed out that the United States, as the world's leading power, is trying to achieve its goals regarding Iran by using new tools.
Sanctions, an Ineffective Tool
Abolfath noted in his analysis that the use of sanctions as a pressure tool on Iran has had diminishing effects over time, and for this reason, the U.S. has turned to maritime blockades. This American affairs expert believes that maritime blockades may be used as a new strategy, but it should be noted that this action alone cannot lead to a change in Iran's behavior.

Leading Power, but Not Absolute
Amir Ali Abolfath also pointed out that the United States, as the world's leading power, is by no means an absolute power and faces many challenges and limitations in the international arena. He emphasized that it is still too early to judge the effectiveness of blockades and sanctions, and more time and studies are needed. In his view, these tools should be evaluated within a broader framework, considering the current political and economic situation in Iran as well as the reactions of the international community.
Abolfath also referred to the social and economic consequences of such sanctions and stressed the need to pay attention to the living conditions of the Iranian people. He believes that sanctions should be designed in a way that minimizes harm to vulnerable segments of society while simultaneously increasing political pressure on the government.
International Consequences
This expert also discussed the international impacts of sanctions and maritime blockades on Iran's relations with other countries and examined the challenges that may arise as a result of these actions. He emphasized that the United States must carefully consider the consequences of such pressures and avoid hasty decisions.
Ultimately, Abolfath concludes that to resolve existing crises and reach a sustainable agreement, there is a need for active diplomacy and constructive dialogues between Iran and the United States. He believes that only through interaction and cooperation can effective and sustainable solutions be achieved.
