US Targets Digital Assets, Gold in Broad Economic Campaign Against Iran

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced plans to target five key sectors for potential secondary sanctions as part of a broader economic campaign against Iran. The sectors include digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping.

Bessent emphasized the 'zero leakage' approach, stating that any country helping Iran would be removed from the US dollar system.

He also revealed that President Trump is making phone calls to world leaders, urging them to cut economic ties with Iran. The goal is to block every potential revenue source for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
