- Since the October 7 Hamas attack, U.S. and allied officials have added economic sanctions on Iran and its “Axis of Resistance” partners to counter their efforts to support Hamas.
- Sanctions have been targeted primarily at facilitators that help Iran develop missiles and armed drones and which generate and move funds and weaponry on behalf of Iran’s partners.
- The sanctions architecture might succeed in its objectives over time, but since October 7, it has not measurably hindered Iran and its allies’ ability to conduct operations.
- The U.S. and allied designations of sanctioned entities help third-country national authorities counter Iran and its network of allies and facilitators.
