Trump: Iran 'completely collapsing' as Treasury Sec. discusses 'economic D-Day'
Trump's post came as the US Treasury is expected to broaden the scope of secondary sanctions it can impose on entities and countries that maintain business ties with Iran
Assessment
The Trump administration is signaling a major escalation in its economic pressure campaign against Iran. By expanding secondary sanctions, the US aims to cut off any remaining financial lifelines Tehran has with foreign businesses and governments. The question is whether this squeeze will force a change in Iranian behavior or simply deepen the humanitarian crisis inside the country. Watch for which specific countries and companies get targeted next.
