WASHINGTON: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced the launch of what he described as an “economic D-Day” against Iran, saying Washington is entering a decisive phase in its campaign against Tehran.
Bessent said US President Donald Trump had destroyed Iran’s military capabilities, claiming that nearly 100% of Iran’s military factories had also been destroyed.
“The economic D-Day against Iran begins today,” the US Treasury secretary said, describing the move as the largest financial action ever taken against an adversary.
Bessent further claimed that Iran’s nuclear programme had been buried, adding that the United States was now entering a decisive stage in its campaign against Tehran.
The remarks signal a major escalation in Washington’s economic pressure on Iran, following the US military campaign targeting Iranian military and nuclear capabilities.
