"At dawn begins an economic D-Day [against Iran],  the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary," US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote in an opinion piece in the Financial Times on Sunday, echoing US President Donald Trump's statements on Truth Social last week.

"Our objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains the tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone," he added.
