Episode description
Oil sanctions were meant to throttle Iran’s revenue but have instead enriched its elite.
Eurasia Group Iran and oil analyst Greg Brew joins Negar Mojtahedi to explain how Iran keeps selling over a million barrels of barrels a day through shadow networks which profit wildly from the murky trade.
We also explore China’s role in sustaining Iran’s oil industry and shadowy tycoons like Babak Zanjani, who embody the paradox of Iran’s undercover economy.
