US Hits Iran with 'Economic D-Day' Sanctions
The Trump administration has launched a new wave of sanctions against Iran, targeting both the country and its trade partners. Officials described the move as an “economic D-Day,” signaling a major escalation in pressure on Tehran. The new measures are designed to cut off key revenue streams and isolate Iran from global markets. The administration said the sanctions will penalize any foreign company or nation that continues to do business with Iran’s oil, banking, or shipping sectors. This action follows months of rising tensions between Washington and Tehran. The administration argues that the sanctions are necessary to curb Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence. However, critics warn that the move could disrupt global oil supplies and strain relations with key allies. The full scope of the sanctions will take effect in the coming weeks. The administration said it will monitor compliance and is prepared to enforce the measures strictly.
