The U.S. is preparing to unleash the harshest economic sanctions ever targeted at Iran, aiming to force Tehran’s hand without military escalation—despite cooling direct hostilities. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and VP JD Vance frame this as a historic isolation strategy, urging allies to choose sides. Iran retaliates with fiery rhetoric, calling it “economic warfare,” while analysts question if more sanctions can truly shift Iran’s course—or if Tehran will simply endure the pressure. With shipping through Hormuz already crippled, the world watches closely as economic brinkmanship takes center stage.
