U.S. to unveil 'greatest financial offensive' against Iran as Tehran threatens ship seizures

U.S. officials announced plans to launch a comprehensive economic strategy targeting Iran. The move follows Tehran’s threat to seize commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation occurred after both parties missed a 60‑day ceasefire period intended to negotiate a settlement. The missed window closed the formal truce mechanism that could have ended the six‑month conflict. The U.S. strategy includes sanctions on Iranian financial institutions, restrictions on oil exports, and measures to limit foreign investment in Iranian assets. The plan aims to pressure Iran to comply with international demands and to reduce its regional influence in the future.
