(SRN NEWS) – A top Trump administration official says Iran may fear American economic pressure more than military force. Secretary Bessent is at the center of a new push described by officials as “Operation Economic Fury,” an aggressive campaign aimed at tightening economic pressure on Iran. Treasury officials say the campaign is designed to reduce the regime’s ability to operate effectively—particularly by limiting revenue streams that support regional activities. Officials say they are increasing scrutiny on institutions that process transactions connected to Iranian networks. Officials say Operation Economic Fury is meant to maximize pressure while encouraging Iran to change course.
