US Treasury Official: Washington Nearing Final Phase of Economic War with Iran

The United States is nearing the culmination of its economic pressure campaign against Iran, with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declaring the U.S. is entering the "final phase." Mnuchin invoked the historical "D-Day" landings of World War II to describe the impending economic offensive, signaling a significant escalation in financial measures against Tehran.

Economic D-Day will begin at dawn – the biggest financial attack ever launched against an adversary.

Mnuchin asserted that President Donald Trump's administration has effectively dismantled Iran's military strength and halted its nuclear ambitions. "Almost 100% of his military factories and buried his nuclear program," Mnuchin stated, framing the current actions as the concluding stage of a broader strategy. The objective, he explained, is to sever all economic arteries sustaining the Iranian government, aiming to isolate the regime financially.

Donald Trump has crippled Iran's military capabilities, almost 100% of his military factories and buried its nuclear program. Now we are entering the final phase.

This intensified economic pressure follows earlier warnings from Trump, who declared an "economic D-Day" against Iran and threatened severe consequences for those supporting Tehran. Mnuchin's remarks suggest a coordinated effort to impose maximum economic hardship, potentially impacting Iran's ability to fund its regional activities and internal operations. The U.S. seeks to leave Tehran "alone" by cutting off its financial lifelines.

Those who fear the danger of challenging Tehran should not underestimate the price that may have to be paid for testing Washington's resolve. Our goal is to cut off all economic lifelines supporting the tyrannical regime until Tehran is left alone.
