US and Israeli military strikes have systematically targeted key economic nodes in Iran, according to reports. The attacks have severely damaged Iran's ability to export its primary commodity, placing significant pressure on its already troubled economy. This economic pressure is reportedly being used as leverage to force Iran to come to the negotiating table, as the country is said to have few remaining options.
