What are financial arteries?
'Financial arteries' refer to the channels and institutions that Iran uses to conduct its international financial transactions, like banks, companies, and even individuals in other countries. The US aims to cut off these 'arteries' by threatening to sanction anyone who continues to do business with Iran, effectively starving its economy of funds and trade.
