US Economic War on Iran Escalates | Jamaica News

The U.S. is launching a full-scale economic war on Iran, calling it “economic D-Day” as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vows to cut all financial ties supporting the regime — including digital assets, tech, gold, shipping, and aviation — with no country or entity safe from sanctions. Already, 60 Iranian-linked targets across the UAE, China, Singapore, and Europe have been hit. Iran sees this as proof of military failure, arguing that if the U.S. had won, there’d be no need for such extreme financial pressure. Despite years of sanctions, Iran kept exporting oil — mostly to China — through complex financial channels. Now, even U.S. student payments are sanctioned, worsening hardship for ordinary Iranians already suffering inflation and unrest. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s army chief and Oman’s foreign minister are stepping in as mediators, hoping to salvage peace talks and reopen the Strait of Hormuz before tensions spiral further.
