"The insolvency of Bank Sepah is a direct economic consequence of sanctions, which aligns with the broader Israeli strategy outlined in Event 6 to counter Iranian nuclear ambitions and proxy threats through multi-domain pressure, including economic and diplomatic measures."
"Both events represent significant economic impacts on the Iranian axis. Event 13 shows the economic cost of Houthi maritime threats (a proxy of Iran) on regional oil production, while the new event shows the direct financial cost of sanctions on Iranian state infrastructure. They are parallel manifestations of the economic warfare dimension of the conflict."
