US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the United States is initiating an "economic D-Day" against Iran. Described as the "greatest financial offensive" in history, the measures are intended to target the nation's economic infrastructure. The announcement marks a significant escalation in American financial policy toward the Islamic Republic.

According to the Treasury Secretary, these actions follow the Trump administration's prior efforts to dismantle Iran's military and nuclear capabilities. The new sanctions represent a continuation of the current administration's strategy to exert maximum economic pressure on the Iranian government.
