Trump Declares Iran Collapsing Under U.S. Economic Pressure

The Trump administration views recent military strikes and sanctions as pushing Iran's economy to the brink, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calling the next sanctions wave an 'economic D-Day' to sever remaining financial lifelines.

Iran's currency plunged amid high inflation, while commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz surged despite threats.

Supporters see the pressure working, but critics like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene warn of global fallout, and Iranian voices promise resistance as Bessent prepares to detail the measures.
