"The new event describes Iran's pivot to self-reliance specifically 'amid sanctions pressure' and 'despite economic isolation'. Event 6 explicitly details Iran condemning new US sanctions as economic terrorism. The imposition of these sanctions (Event 6) is the direct cause of the defensive strategic shift and assertion of self-reliance described in the new event."
