US weaponizes global finance to punish countries — Iranian economist

The post-World War II framework of financial and investment infrastructure functions as a powerful mechanism of control, Iranian economist Peyman Molavi tells Sputnik.

“The US can remove any country from this system as punishment or keep it in as a reward,” he notes.

Countries under US sanctions, like Iran, face restrictions on accessing capital and investment, making long-term growth difficult.

“No country in the world has ever achieved sustained economic growth without attracting foreign capital,” he says.
