The United States has launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a new sanctions campaign aimed at economically isolating Iran and targeting any nations that assist the regime, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bessent announced the plan Monday, describing it as a "zero-leakage approach" to block all revenue sources funding Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He said President Trump is personally urging world leaders to cease interactions with Tehran, warning that sanctions will target those facilitating Iranian oil transactions. Iranian state media has released a video offering a $10 million bounty for President Trump's 20-year-old son, Barron Trump, with the Secret Service confirming awareness of the threat. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated military options remain open, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the sanctions.
