NewzThe Trump administration has initiated sanctions against the United Arab Emirates-based branches of the Egyptian financial institution Banque Misr. The action is part of a broader strategic initiative identified as 'Operation Economic Outcast,' aimed at increasing the economic isolation of Iran. U.S. officials allege that the bank has functioned as a critical financial lifeline for the Iranian leadership.
These measures effectively restrict the bank's access to the global financial system. The move represents a significant escalation in the ongoing U.S. campaign to disrupt Iran’s international economic operations by targeting third-party financial entities accused of facilitating support for Tehran.
