How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|

| USDIRR | Closing off a major route for converting Iranian oil revenues into cash and gold exacerbates Iran’s foreign currency shortage and pressures the rial. | Up1-3m | Analyses note Iran’s shortage of foreign currency reserves and U.S. efforts to block Iranian ports and illicit financing channels, while the new sanctions directly target an institution moving oil revenues into usable hard assets. |
