What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • The extent of compliance from major global trade partners of Iran.
  • Whether China will take active measures to bypass or retaliate against the US sanctions.
  • Whether Operation Economic Outcast has merely been announced or whether its measures are already legally effective and being enforced.
  • The specific legal authorities, entities, countries and transactions covered by the secondary sanctions.
