How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| IRNUSD | Escalating sanctions rhetoric and Iran’s isolation increase expectations of further pressure on the rial through restricted export revenues and capital inflows. | Down1-3m | Baghaei described new sanctions as unlawful economic warfare and a declaration of war on all nations, while reports highlight continued US efforts to tighten Iran’s financial noose. |
| EURUSD | European entities face a trade‑off between maintaining Iran-related ties and avoiding exposure to US secondary sanctions, generating two‑sided effects on euro demand versus the dollar. | Mixed1-4w | Commentary on secondary sanctions stresses their extraterritorial reach over foreign banks and enterprises, raising uncertainty for European corporates engaged in Iran or in trade lanes affected by the conflict. |
