US launches massive economic campaign against Iran
The United States is initiating a massive economic campaign against Iran, which US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has characterized as the largest single financial attack ever mobilized against an adversary. Describing the move as an economic ‘D-Day’, Bessent stated that the US has entered the ‘final stage’ of its conflict with Iran, aiming to use the harshest sanctions in history to isolate the nation and collapse its economy.
President Donald Trump has warned that any country or entity—including financial institutions, businesses, or airports—that facilitates Iran’s economic flow will face severe consequences. This escalation follows military strikes by the US and Israel earlier this year. In response, Iran has threatened to halt all oil exports from the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz if the economic warfare continues, viewing such actions as a declaration of war.
Amidst the rising tension, Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Munir, is traveling to Tehran to act as a mediator, seeking to discuss the latest developments and potential de-escalation. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for both sides to resume negotiations to find a long-term solution for the Middle East conflict.
