‘Entering endgame’: US treasury secretary Bessent announces ‘economic D-Day’ against Iran

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declared on Sunday that the Trump administration has entered the "endgame" of its Iran campaign, announcing an "economic D-Day" aimed at severing Tehran's economic support systems. In a post on X, Bessent stated, "President Trump has dismantled Iran's military capabilities, destroyed nearly 100 percent of its military factories, and buried its nuclear program."

He added, "We are now entering the endgame. At dawn begins an economic D-Day - the single greatest financial offensive ever marshaled against an adversary."
