Iran's defiance amidst mounting pressure

For more than two years, the Trump Administration has exerted – what it calls – maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran - crippling its economy in general, and its income-producing oil industry, in particular. While Tehran is yet to give in to this pressure, the American measures have exerted a toll on the Ayatollah regime, which in turn, brought about a militant response and a threat of a wider escalation.
