US administration prepares 'economic D-Day' sanctions against Iran
The U.S. administration is set to unveil a new, aggressive package of economic sanctions against Iran, described by officials as an 'economic D-Day.' The move aims to further isolate Tehran financially as tensions remain high following the expiration of a ceasefire window. Iran has threatened a 'seismic' response to these measures, which are expected to broaden the scope of secondary sanctions on entities and countries trading with Iran.
