Israeli strikes against the Islamic Republic while imposing sanctions on Tehran\u2019s oil exports, experts predict.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, 78, plans to\u00a0\u201cisolate Iran diplomatically and weaken them economically so they can\u2019t fund all of the violence\u201d done by its proxies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Yemen-based Houthis, former US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook told CNN Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be maximum pressure 2.0,\u201d Robert McNally, a former US energy official, agreed in a <a

Iran\u2019s nuclear and energy facilities, said Helima Croft, chief commodities strategist at Canadian broker RBC Capital Markets.<\/p>\n<p>The move would be a departure from the Biden administration, which received reassurance from Israel before its <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/10\/26\/world-news\/iran-responds-to-israeli-strikes-hezbollah-fires-rockets-at-idf\/\">Oct. 26 strikes on Iran<\/a> that it would avoid nuclear sites or energy infrastructure, the Journal noted.<\/p>\n<p>People briefed on Trump\u2019s transition plan also told the outlet that the 47th president\u2019s administration will work quickly to stifle Iran\u2019s petroleum income by recreating the strategy adopted during his first term.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter

to isolate Iran,\u201d a former Trump White House official said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the perception is that Iran is definitely in a position of weakness right now, and now is an opportunity to exploit that weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Trump introduced a full embargo on Iran\u2019s crude oil exports, which caused its shipments to plummet to 250,000 barrels a day by early 2020.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>One of President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s first priorities when taking office will be backing

Biden-Harris administration tried a softer approach.<\/p>\n<p>Once he takes office, Trump could impose US bans on Chinese ports that receive Iranian oil on top of sanctions targeting Iraqi officials who fund Tehran-backed militias, McNally predicted.<\/p>\n<p>These strategies could be enough to cut at least 500,000 barrels a day in oil purchases, mainly by China, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, however, Trump would also face pressure to curb Iranian oil sales while avoiding the risk of oil prices spiking and contributing to inflation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image

knowledge that its agents have repeatedly tried to assassinate him since leaving office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople tend to take that stuff personally,\u201d Mick Mulroy, a top Pentagon official focusing
