The White House announced 'Operation Economic Outcast,' described as an effort to cut off remaining economic support for Iran following what the administration calls its dismantling of Iran's military and nuclear capabilities. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent detailed the campaign in a Financial Times op-ed, calling it 'the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary' and an 'economic D-Day.'

The release states the objective is to sever every economic lifeline sustaining the Iranian government until it 'stands alone.' It repeats the administration's long-standing position that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, framing the new sanctions push as fulfillment of that goal.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
When a government has to announce that its offensive is the greatest ever marshalled, the announcement is doing the work the offensive can't. D-Day, famously, did not require an op-ed. If Iran truly 'stands alone' someday, we suspect the press release will arrive first, the evidence never.
