Trump Launches Operation Economic Outcast to Isolate Iran

President Donald Trump launched Operation Economic Outcast, a comprehensive financial campaign he described as an "economic D-Day" designed to cripple Iran's ability to project terror and prevent the nation from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent initiated the operation to isolate Iran financially and sever the economic lifelines sustaining the regime.

Simultaneously, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned that the United States is not ruling out the use of military force. Speaking in Wisconsin, Hegseth stated that the U.S. remains prepared to execute "kinetic strikes" against Iran or within the Strait of Hormuz if the Iranian government interferes with the American military or overplays its hand.

Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani acknowledged the economic hardships resulting from the new U.S. measures. She maintained that the Iranian government and president would guide the country through the intense gauntlet of the current phase.
