⚖️ **3. Mechanisms of "Sanctioning Tyranny"**
- **Unilateralism**: Disregard for European allies, who warned of humanitarian effects in Iran and criticized extraterritorial sanctions.
- **Instrumentalization of the financial system**: Global banks were coerced into cutting ties with sanctioned countries under the threat of exclusion from the dollar market.
- **Ineffective humanitarian licenses**: Theoretical authorizations for medicines and food were undermined by bureaucratic complexity and fear of penalties among banks and companies.
