US Unleashes Economic D-Day Against Iran in Major Escalation
The United States is launching an economic offensive against Iran, which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has described as the 'greatest financial offensive ever marshaled' against a nation. The move aims to sever all economic lifelines that sustain the Iranian regime.
Bessent stated that President Trump has dismantled Iran's military capabilities and buried its nuclear program, marking the beginning of an endgame. He warned that countries engaging with Iran's economy despite US pressure would face severe consequences.
Iran has responded by threatening to halt all oil exports from the Persian Gulf if Washington continues what it calls an 'economic war.' The country's officials have also warned that economic pressure could trigger a wider confrontation in the region.
