Here are some of Trump’s options as he prepares to increase economic pressure on Iran
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the measures will target Iran's economy and shadow banking networks after $9 billion in activity was flagged in 2024.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent plans to announce "the toughest sanctions in history" at a Monday press conference, aiming to economically isolate Tehran amid the ongoing six-month war.
- President Donald Trump's administration is preparing an "economic D-Day" sanctions program to choke Tehran's revenue, following months of strain caused by Iran's disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Ordinary Iranians face "untenable" economic pressures, with residents struggling to afford essential medications as sellers report empty markets in Tehran and Karaj.
- Security chief Mohsen Rezaei warned of "earthquake-like" retaliation, indicating Tehran would block oil exports from the Persian Gulf if neighbors assist the United States.
- Washington may target Chinese "teapot" refineries that purchase Iranian oil, though experts warn such secondary measures could trigger retaliation from Beijing.
