The new sanctions could have widespread effects on Iran's economy as well as its relations with other countries around the world. Specifically, experts believe that these actions could lead to a decrease in Iran's oil exports and consequently negatively impact the country's national revenues. At the same time, some analysts argue that these sanctions may provoke strong reactions from Iran and escalate tensions in the region.
