US Intensifies 'Economic D-Day' Sanctions Against Iran
The Trump administration intensified its 'Economic D-Day' campaign on August 27-28, 2026, expanding sanctions to isolate the Iranian economy further. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced new measures targeting digital assets, gold, and aviation sectors. The administration warned of secondary sanctions against any foreign countries maintaining economic ties with Tehran. Iran has vowed to retaliate in a 'seismic manner' against these efforts to choke its international trade.
