The US President posts emphatic statement on social media as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveils what he calls "economic D-Day" targeting Tehran's remaining financial lifelines. President Donald Trump posted a brief but emphatic statement on his Truth Social platform Monday afternoon, writing in capital letters: "IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!" The post, signed with his customary "President DJT," quickly garnered thousands of likes and shares.
Trump's declaration came against the backdrop of an extraordinary announcement by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who revealed that Washington is entering the final phase of its economic campaign against Iran. Bessent stated that President Trump has dismantled Iran's military capabilities, destroyed nearly 100 percent of its military production facilities, and buried its nuclear program. The Treasury chief indicated that a major financial escalation would begin imminently.
Bessent characterized the upcoming measures as "economic D-Day" - a financial assault on an unprecedented scale. "At dawn, economic D-Day will begin, the largest financial attack ever against an adversary," the Treasury Secretary announced. "Our goal is to sever every economic lifeline sustaining the tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone."
The planned sanctions are expected to target independent Chinese refineries purchasing smuggled Iranian oil, foreign banks facilitating financial transfers, and digital money-laundering networks and cryptocurrency exchanges. Additional measures will focus on Iranian airlines and the hidden maritime fleet used to circumvent existing embargoes. (Read More)
