Today's Friday, August 21st. voice-verified

Here's what we're covering. voice-verified

This week he promised what he called an economic D Day and quote the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country. voice-verified

Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, whose department oversees things like sanctions, said a plan will be rolled out next week. voice-verified

But his comments also made something else clear. voice-verified

For voice-verified

essentially, by going all in on economic warfare, the US is stepping back from its threats of military action. voice-verified

And experts say Iran is listening closely. voice-verified

One former middle east negotiator who worked for presidents of both parties said Iran's leaders are likely reading Trump's pivot as a clear sign he does not want to go back to full-scale war. voice-verified

The question now, though, is how effective any new economic pressure on Iran can be. voice-verified

The US is already blockading its ports, and the country has faced years of crippling sanctions. voice-verified

Still, the regime has remained resilient. voice-verified

This week, Trump expanded his threats to target any country that does business with Iran, trying to isolate it further. voice-verified

But experts say following through on that will be very difficult. voice-verified

Iran's most important financial lifeline is China, which buys most of Iran's oil. voice-verified

And one expert on economics at the Council on Foreign Relations told the Times Quote I'm skeptical Trump is willing to risk instigating an economic war with China right now. voice-verified
