Sanctions Evasion

Sanctioned countries develop sophisticated methods to get around restrictions. Shell companies, cryptocurrency transactions, and trade through intermediary nations all help them dodge economic pressure. Enforcement turns into a constant cat-and-mouse game.

Russia used Turkey and the UAE as trade intermediaries. North Korea employs elaborate shipping networks with falsified documents. Iran developed barter arrangements to avoid the dollar-based financial system entirely. Enforcement requires constant adaptation to new evasion tactics.
