Who does Iran trade with and what could Trump's 'economic D-Day' mean?

 The US has said "the single greatest financial offensive ever" will help it and Israel end their ongoing war with Iran.

However, Iran is no stranger to these tactics. The regime has faced near continuous US sanctions since the Islamic Revolution of 1979. In that time, it has developed deep trade ties with several countries which either have a history of ignoring US economic pressure themselves or cannot afford to stop trading with Iran. China is one of them.

As a result, Iran says it is "fully prepared" for the new US sanctions and many economists argue the impact of Washington's latest move will be limited.
