It's been a year since Trump took office. From January 2025 to January 2026, Iran's oil production has not dropped a single barrel. This is quite interesting. The previous combination of measures—oil embargoes plus maximum pressure—sounded intimidating, but what about the actual effect? It seems they did not achieve the expected results. The game in energy markets has never been simple. Whether sanctions policies can truly shake up the supply chain of oil-producing countries depends on alternative solutions, geopolitical allies, and the resilience of global markets. Iran's oil production remaining steady reflects the complexity of the current international political and economic landscape—relying solely on pressure policies often cannot change the existing market structure. For traders trying to understand energy price fluctuations and geopolitical risks, this is worth pondering.

Trump's tricks are really just paper tigers; you'll see that Iran's oil production hasn't moved a single barrel. Sanctions, to put it simply, depend on whether someone is willing to take the bait. If no one buys in, it's all pointless. The depth of energy game theory is profound. Relying on a single move to dominate everything? That's too naive. Oil embargoes combined with maximum pressure? Sounds intimidating, but we've underestimated market resilience. Geopolitical chess is not that simple; once alternative options appear, sanctions fall apart. Pure pressure policies can't change the existing pattern; that's a matter of common sense. Iran's oil production remains steady as a rock. What does that mean? China, Russia, and Europe are all backing behind the scenes. The policy effects are so far from expectations that Wall Street traders need to think carefully. Sanctions can't fundamentally shake the balance of the global energy landscape. This time, Trump bet wrong.

The embargo game has been played out long ago. What new tricks can you come up with?

The sanctions game sounds intimidating, but Iran still continues to produce oil. To put it simply, the international order simply doesn't buy it.

This combination may sound intimidating, but it's actually a paper tiger. Iran's oil remains unaffected, so what does that mean? The real game rules can't be changed simply by pressure. The market is resilient, geopolitics has allies, and there are plenty of alternatives. These are the true determinants of power. Don't think a single ban can change the world overnight.

Ha, you're right. Sanctions are just paper tigers. --- Iran really held steady this time. The power of China and Russia backing it up. --- Wait, did oil production stay the same but prices go up? That's the real point, right? --- Purely pressure-based policies are outdated. The energy market has long been globalized. Who cares? --- Traders are betting on geopolitics, but little do they know, production levels are the key. --- It seems sanctions and strategic games are not simply a matter of one plus one equals two. --- Iran: I just won't cut down. What can you do about it? --- This logic is clear. The market's resilience means no one can monopolize it.

I'm really tired of this sanctions routine; Iran hasn't budged at all. What does that mean... Pure pressure alone can't solve the energy game.
