U.S. Hits Iran With 60 New Sanctions in Major Crackdown

The Spin


The latest U.S. sanctions against Iran are economic bullying dressed up in hollow World War II rhetoric, and the comparison to D-Day is an embarrassment. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, retains its missile capabilities and holds all the leverage — piling on 60 more sanctions after exhausting prior rounds changes nothing. This is collective punishment of Iranian civilians, not serious foreign policy.

Operation Economic Outcast is exactly the kind of maximum-pressure campaign Iran's regime deserves, and the world is already taking notice. Treasury Secretary Bessent made clear that any country continuing to bankroll Tehran through oil purchases, shipping or banking will share in Iran's isolation. This unprecedented economic onslaught is the right tool to defund a tyrannical regime and permanently block its path to a nuclear weapon.
