US targets Iran's revenue with new sanctions

t-online.de (German)

The US announced new sanctions targeting Iran's revenue streams, aiming to isolate Tehran from the global economy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined the operation but provided few specifics. The sanctions focus on digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping to cut off funding for Iran's Revolutionary Guards. Bessent threatened to exclude any institution enabling Iranian money laundering from the US dollar system. The announcement follows months of ineffective military strikes in the ongoing conflict. Trump previously described the measures as an "economic D-Day," while Iran's parliament speaker dismissed US economic pressure as ineffective.
