US launches ‘operation economic outcast’: Trump pressures world leaders to stop dealing with Iran?

Donald Trump has launched what his administration calls an “economic D-Day” against Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled Operation Economic Outcast, vowing to sever Tehran's financial lifelines worldwide and impose a “zero-leakage” sanctions campaign. Washington is targeting digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping while warning foreign governments and businesses against helping Iran. Bessent said Trump is personally calling world leaders and threatened to remove Iran-linked entities from the US dollar system. With dozens of targets already sanctioned, will Trump's financial offensive isolate Tehran or trigger another escalation?
