US readies 'economic D-Day' sanctions aimed at Iran's economy

Iran’s leadership appears divided on how to respond, while Tehran warns that vessels violating Hormuz rules could be seized, highlighting ongoing shipping risks as regional tensions persist and China’s stance on tightening measures remains uncertain.
