US Unveils Sweeping Sanctions Push to Squeeze Iran's Regime
The U.S. Treasury Secretary announced expanded secondary sanctions on Iran, calling it an 'economic D-Day' to pressure Tehran without military action. The plan widens targets to digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping, sanctioning about 60 entities and suspending certain licenses, with accelerated enforcement and a push for other countries to cut Iran-related business. A major financial institution is expected to be sanctioned soon. Success hinges on Western coalition enforcement amid Iran's ongoing economic crisis and dwindling oil revenue.
