U.S. Slams Iran With New Sanctions | Richmond News

The U.S. Treasury is launching sweeping sanctions against Iran to cut off all revenue streams, warning any nation doing business with Tehran will face retaliation — as Iran’s rial hits a record low. Secretary Bessent insists no country is beyond U.S. reach, offering a “cure period” while ramping up diplomatic pressure. Meanwhile, President Trump threatens a 50% tariff on Canadian autos and steel, escalating trade tensions after talks collapsed — with Canada vowing to retaliate. Iran’s parliament dismisses U.S. threats, arguing Washington lacks economic leverage, but the Treasury warns trading partners can no longer operate in a “gray zone.” The global economic standoff intensifies as the U.S. pushes for isolation — and the world watches to see if sanctions will force change or trigger wider conflict.
