Operation Economic Outcast Targets Iran | Denver News

The Treasury just dropped Operation Economic Outcast — a bold, multi-sector financial blitz targeting Iran’s global ties to force it to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Secretary Bessent calls it an “economic onslaught,” expanding sanctions to digital assets, gold, shipping, tech, and aviation — with anyone aiding Iran’s money laundering facing expulsion from the U.S. dollar system. While some get a grace period, enforcement is imminent. He even criticized Gulf allies like the UAE for trading with Tehran, calling it “appeasement.” But skeptics question its real impact, especially without full pressure on China. This is the administration’s final economic gambit — a D-Day for Iran’s economy — after years of dismantling its military and nuclear programs.
