Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday launched \u201cOperation Economic Outcast,\u201d a campaign to cut Iran off from the global economy and punish governments, banks, and companies that continue doing business with Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes roughly six months after President Donald Trump launched his military campaign against Iran, with Bessent saying the new economic offensive will target the financial networks and revenue streams that sustain the Iranian government, military, and security apparatus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bessent described the campaign as an \u201ceconomic D-Day,\u201d comparing it to the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II, and warned that countries enabling Iran\u2019s trade and financial activity will face U.S. sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains this tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone,\u201d Bessent said. \u201cPresident Trump has taken action that his predecessors have long deferred, and under his leadership, America is no longer managing the Iranian threat; we are ending it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign marks a significant escalation in Washington\u2019s pressure on Tehran. Rather than focusing solely on Iranian entities, the administration is threatening the international banks, companies, and governments that help keep Iran connected to the global financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bessent said the Treasury has mapped the networks Iran uses to smuggle oil and evade sanctions and will pursue a \u201czero-leakage approach\u201d to cutting off those channels. The administration is giving countries and entities a chance to shut down activities identified by Washington, but Bessent warned that the window will be short.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is above the reach of U.S. sanctions,\u201d Bessent said when asked whether Chinese banks could eventually be targeted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He declined to name specific institutions but said any bank or entity that facilitates transactions that turn Iranian oil into revenue for the regime could face sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first round of measures targets five sectors Bessent called vital Iranian lifelines: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is also sanctioning more than 60 entities, individuals, and vessels accused of helping Iran procure nuclear and missile technology, conduct cyber operations, and generate oil revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bessent said every branch of Bank Melli, Iran\u2019s largest commercial bank, should be \u201cshuttered and dark\u201d and warned that entities facilitating money laundering for Iran would be cut off from the U.S. dollar system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump has been calling world leaders with specific requests to end their interactions with Tehran, Bessent said, while State Department and Treasury officials are following up with governments and entities to outline Washington\u2019s expectations. He declined to identify the countries involved or give a specific deadline, saying the United States does not have \u201cinfinite patience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bessent said a \u201cwave of sanctions\u201d would begin immediately and predicted a major announcement involving a financial institution by the end of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n

He pointed to the United Arab Emirates as an early example of a country responding to the pressure. The UAE suspended all trade with Iran last week following new Iranian attacks on the Gulf country, which has faced hundreds of attacks since the war began.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked why the United States was not simply imposing the sanctions immediately, given his comparison to D-Day, Bessent said Washington did not want to \u201cblow up the global financial system\u201d and instead is giving countries and institutions a chance to remedy what the administration considers bad behavior before imposing secondary sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei warned Monday that Tehran will retaliate against President Trump\u2019s \u201cEconomic D-Day\u201d sanctions campaign, including potentially targeting countries that cooperate with Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAny escalation of this situation will undoubtedly bring about consequences,\u201d Baghaei said. \u201cOur hands are not tied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
