"The imposition of secondary sanctions on the Iranian aviation sector (Event 8) represents a significant economic pressure tactic. Iran's move to outline strict preconditions for negotiations (New Event) can be seen as a diplomatic counter-move or retaliation, aiming to link the lifting of such sanctions to broader strategic concessions."
