As Trump administration readies economic warfare measures against Iran, top security official vows retaliation ‘in a seismic manner’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday is expected to announce the new measures after the U.S. vowed to impose an “unprecedented” level of economic warfare and isolation.

Iran’s president says the world has accepted that the country has won the war with the United States, while France and Saudi Arabia are expected to discuss plans to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed since the U.S. and Israel launched the war nearly six months ago.

The hard-line new leader of Iran’s top security body is threatening neighbors against joining new U.S. efforts to squeeze Tehran’s economy and saying the U.S. has increased global nuclear insecurity

As Vice President JD Vance declares economic pressure "the most effective tool that we have," Iran seeks to show deepening trade ties with its neighbors.

The Iranian regime has dismissed President Trump's threats to crush Iran economically, saying that years of U.S. sanctions have failed.

According to the officials, US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose another harsh package of economic sanctions is intended to “buy time” until after the US midterm elections.
