JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US says it will ban entities from the US dollar-based financial system that facilitate money laundering for Iran.
"No one should test our resolve."
🇺🇸 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Just Now:
- Iran has "a very clear choice": complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy and the global economy
- Launching "Operation Economic Outcast" to foreclose every other option for the regime
- Treasury has mapped every node, facilitator, and network Iran uses to smuggle oil and evade sanctions
- Actions by Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every revenue source funding the IRGC
- Calls it a "zero leakage" approach, leaving the regime "no minimal breathing space" to rebuild its capacity for terror
NOW: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announces “Operation Economic Outcast,” a new global campaign targeting Iran’s financial networks and international enablers, at President Trump’s direction.
"D-Day marked the historic beginning of a campaign with our allies to target and drive the enemy from its positions, including those in third countries."
"Today, in that same spirit, we are launching an economic onslaught against Iran's financial connections around the globe."
Canada has threatened to cut off electricity and other critical minerals like military grade nickel and uranium increasingly used by the Pentagon as the trade war between the US and Canada deepens.

BREAKING: Iran directly warns it will massively escalate the confrontation with the United States within the next 48 hours, declaring that its response to Washington's economic war will carry "consequences" and that Tehran is "not empty-handed."
"The necessary warnings have been issued, and our cooperation with the United States will have consequences," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said, confirming that any country cooperating with the U.S. campaign will face retaliation.
