Iran Calls Trump's 'Economic D-Day' Campaign 'Economic Terrorism'

The United States is intensifying its economic campaign against Iran, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claiming the strategy could isolate Tehran and potentially bring about regime change without another major military operation. Dubbed the "Economic D-Day," the campaign relies on sanctions, trade restrictions, and financial pressure to cut Iran off from the global economy.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened repercussions for any country or entity providing economic support to Iran. Bessent told CNBC that Washington expects the economic pressure to achieve its goal of changing Iran's government, calling it "the greatest coordinated economic isolation in the history of the world." Iran has vehemently condemned the sanctions, branding them "economic terrorism" and crimes against humanity, arguing they harm ordinary Iranians instead of resolving the conflict.
