在军事手段难以达成目标之后，美国转而准备对伊朗发动大规模“经济战”。    Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur, which released on November 21 is slowing down at the box office. The film did see a rise over the first weekend, but it could not carry that momentum forward as the week began. Directed by Razneesh Razy Ghai, this war drama tells the real story of the 120 brave soldiers from the Kumaon Regiment, led by Major Shaitan Singh, a role Farhan plays with complete honesty.           Even with strong word of mouth, the film’s limited commercial appeal seems to be stopping a wider audience from coming to the theatres. The story brings the Battle of Rezang La from the Sino Indian war to the screen with emotional moments and powerful performances, and many viewers have appreciated that effort. Still, the praise has not turned into the numbers the makers were hoping for.     The film opened with a collection of Rs 2.25 crore on day one according to Sacnilk. The weekend looked promising when the earnings jumped to Rs 3.85 crore on Saturday and went up to Rs 4 crore on Sunday. Things slowed down on Monday with the film collecting only Rs 1.4 crore, a drop of sixty five percent, and Tuesday saw only a slight rise with Rs 1.5 crore.          120 Bahadur is based on the events of the Battle of Rezang La which took place during the Sino Indian war in November 1962. This story was earlier adapted in Dharmendra’s classic film Haqeeqat where he played Captain Bahadur Singh, the same character Farhan portrays in the new film. The cast also includes Raashii Khanna, Vivan Bhatena, Ankit Siwach, Dhanveer Singh, Sahib Verma, Sparsh Walia and Eijaz Khan in important roles.Also Read: Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur Sees a Jump on Day 2, Earns Rs 4.1 Cr。而经济制裁发挥效力需要时间，这对于当前特朗普政府面临的今年11月的中期选举压力来说，似乎是“远水解不了近渴”。美国在此时推出对伊“经济战”是迫于现实的无奈，选择给国内一个交代，还是另有战略考量？

特约评论员 苏晓晖：美国在对伊朗政策手段接连受挫的情况之下，仍然没有放弃反复的试探和拉扯。美国政府也意识到，军事行动无法击垮伊朗政权，也无法完全清除伊朗的核能力，升级军事行动就会刺激油价，而做出退让则让伊朗更加强硬。随着中期选举临近，当美国对伊政策没有明确的目标，同样没有有效手段的时候，必然加剧国内的政治焦虑。特约评论员 苏晓晖：美国政府以“经济战”的方式，再次尝试对伊朗极限施压。

二 | 美国对伊朗的“经济战”核心目标是要以压促变，这种新的战术美国希望从多个方面看到效果。一方面从美国的角度来说，现在对伊朗进行施压，是希望美国发出强烈政治信号之后，有更多的国家跟进美国的政策，形成对伊朗经济绞杀的更大合力。特约评论员 苏晓晖：另外美国在关注伊朗内部会不会出现进一步的分裂，这涉及当前伊朗对于美国的政策。一方面伊朗国内反抗意志的增加，强调维护国家利益。

三 | 另外一方面，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队更多强调使用强硬的手段，包括威胁可能主动对美国开启军事行动。但美国国内包括总统在内，认为现在是结束战争的时刻，所以美国通过经济方面的绞杀，希望伊朗内部出现进一步的分歧，使美国有机可乘。
