Iran’s “Economic D-Day” Plan: Tehran Says It’s Ready for US Sanctions
The United States has called its latest sanctions on Iran an "economic D-Day," but Tehran insists it is fully prepared to counter the move. Iranian officials say they have a plan in place to absorb the impact of the widened sanctions, which target the country’s financial and energy sectors. The phrase "economic D-Day" signals Washington’s intent to apply maximum pressure, but Iran’s response suggests it will not easily buckle. While the US expects the sanctions to cripple key revenue streams, Tehran claims its strategy includes diversifying trade partners and boosting domestic production. No further details of the Iranian plan were provided, but the message is clear: Iran says it will not be caught off guard. The standoff remains tense, with both sides digging in as the economic war of attrition continues.
