US sanctions 'unlikely to get Tehran to bow down' despite effect on population
Iran has warned that Tehran would respond harshly to expanded U.S. sanctions, including measures against countries it sees as cooperating with Washington. The expanded sanctions come after weeks of impasse. The United States has not dislodged Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil passed before the war started nearly six months ago. Now, Washington is hoping the extra sanctions will bring change. FRANCE 24's Reza Sayah tells us about the atmosphere in Iran, from Tehran.
