Bessent Says ‘Economic D-Day’ Coming for Iran as US Works to Sever Economic Lifelines

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned of an “economic D-Day” for Iran, with the U.S. implementing strong measures to cut off Tehran’s economic lifelines and penalize its trade partners. Under President Trump, the U.S. military reportedly dismantled Iran’s military capabilities and nuclear program. The U.S. and Israel initiated an offensive campaign against Iran in late February, leading to retaliatory attacks by Tehran on Middle Eastern nations and international maritime traffic.
