US launches 'Operation Economic Fury' on Iran

The United States is launching a large-scale economic pressure campaign against Iran called 'Operation Economic Fury'. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the operation, which is being led by the Treasury Department to maximize pressure on the Iranian regime. The move represents a significant escalation of the Trump administration's economic warfare against Tehran. The operation's launch follows the imposition of a US naval blockade on Iranian ports and ongoing diplomatic tensions.
