⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — U.S. Treasury Department launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a systematic campaign to sever financial resources sustaining Tehran and the IRGC. The initiative employs a sustained effort to close every financial channel mapped by Treasury, State, and War departments, providing global counterparts with defined timelines to terminate identified Iranian activity or face exclusion from the U.S. financial system — US Department of the Treasury.
"The Iranian regime faces a clear choice: severe global isolation or a path to reintegration with the global economy."
⚡️🇺🇸🇸🇾 — U.S. Department of State rescinded Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and revoked the Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) status of al-Nusrah Front, also known as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) simultaneously removed HTS from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, terminating asset blocking under the Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR part 594) and Executive Order 13224. U.S. persons no longer require OFAC authorization for transactions or activities with HTS, provided they do not involve other blocked entities or prohibited conduct — Press Release.
➡️ OFAC designated two former HTS affiliates for providing ongoing support to al-Qa’ida and Hurras al-Din, maintaining a targeted enforcement posture against terrorist financing while fulfilling President Trump’s commitment to Syrian sanctions relief.
“Treasury is following through on President Trump’s promise to give the Syrian people a chance at greatness.
Today’s action will help foster additional investment in Syria to promote political and economic stability” — Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
Sanctions when you leave this meeting today, and you should expect that cadence to continue, and I would expect that you will see a major announcement of a financial institution being sanctioned by the end of this week
⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇦 — U.S. Vice President JD Vance addressed the suspension of cross-border trade discussions, specifically targeting the exploitation of the USMCA framework to facilitate the entry of sanctioned overseas industrial volumes:
«But we know that Canada allows itself to be used as a backdoor for Chinese goods. They treat Chinese goods more fairly than they do the goods that come from the people of Maine. It's insanity.
And what we've said to Canada is: stop it. Apply a basic principle of fairness to the trade that you're doing between North Dakota and Canada, between Maine and Canada.
And what happened at the very end is they came in with a bunch of unreasonable last-minute demands. I, frankly, thought we had a deal. I think that we should have a deal, but I think that we need to send a message loud and clear to the Prime Minister of Canada: stop taking advantage of the people of Maine, stop taking advantage of America, it's over. We expect fairness in our trade policy.»
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
Every branch of Bank Melli must be shuttered and dark. And let me be clear, any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the U.S. dollar system. The clock just started ticking.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC and the evil Iranian regime. We are enforcing a zero-leakage approach; there will be no minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity to inflict terror against America and the world
⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇦 — Addressing the trade tensions with Canada, the Vice President of the United States JD Vance stated:
«If you look at the amount of tariffs that have been applied, not just on Maine, but on a lot of our northern states that are doing cross-border trade with Canada, Canada and China have been the two worst countries when it come to trade policy anywhere in the world. What a shame that is.
China, you of course expect. They are our biggest economic competitor. I would expect that from China. I would not expect that from Canada. We have to remember, Canada is a state... sorry, Freudian slip! That was actually an accident.
Canada is a country that has underinvested in its military, that quite literally would get invaded by a foreign country were it not for the umbrella of protection provided by the United States of America.
And so, how does Canada actually respond to that? By treating the people of Maine fairly? No. They apply ridiculous tariffs and other non-tariff duties on Maine products coming into Canada, and they don't expect Maine or anybody else to fight back. We're sick of that. We are actually going to fight back against unfair trade practices, whether it's coming from China or Canada.»
⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — Addressing the perceived erosion of Washington's leverage over international trade networks, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated:
«Americans know that no one believes their blustering; America is not in an economic condition to want to limit its relations with other countries further than this.
Iran's trade partners, both in the media and by sending messages to us, have announced that they do not take these statements into account at all.»
🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israeli Defense Forces:
The terrorist is the son of Fathi Hazem, who was eliminated by IDF forces last week when he attempted to stab an IDF soldier during an offensive operation in Jenin. Following the elimination of his father, Hammam expressed explicit intentions to carry out an attack against citizens of the State of Israel and the security forces.
His brother is the terrorist Raad Hazem, who carried out the deadly shooting attack on Dizengoff Street in 2022, in which three Israeli citizens were murdered and six others were wounded.
In a separate operation conducted yesterday in the area of the village of Sanur, IDF forces, acting under the precise direction of the ISA, successfully arrested a terrorist who was actively working to advance an attack against Israeli civilians.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee, has warned that U.S. President Trump's military aggression against Iran has fundamentally broken global non-proliferation efforts:
«Trump's foolishness in attacking Iran has increased the world's desire for the atomic bomb, especially when they saw that membership in the International Atomic Energy Agency and the NPT has no effect in preventing an American attack. Instead of nuclear security, Trump has created nuclear insecurity.
Iran has accepted and implemented all international safeguards, became a member of the NPT, and submitted to inspections. Iran is the only country that is ahead of all nations in committing to nuclear energy regulations.»
⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee, has stated that U.S. President Donald Trump's regional policies have severely disrupted international shipping:
«The Americans thought they could finish the war with Iran in a few days and seize all the oil and gas of Iran and the region.
About 1,200 oil tankers have been rendered useless, and nearly over 15 percent of the global fleet has been taken out of commercial trade. The transportation cost for oil tankers has increased.»
⚡️🇺🇸🇧🇬 — Two U.S. Air Force KC-135 tanker aircraft departed Bulgaria’s Bezmer air base on Friday following a month-long deployment that prompted Iranian accusations of complicity in "aggression and war crimes." Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov confirmed the exit of the tankers, which were deployed under a joint military facility agreement amid the U.S.-Iran war that began on February 28 — Reuters.
➡️ Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov dismissed local concerns over potential Iranian missile and drone strikes, stating all flights following the July 22 parliamentary approval were training missions over allied territory. Stoyanov maintained that the Bulgarian government acted in full coordination with U.S. authorities and detected no direct threats to national security during the operation.

⚡️🇨🇦🇺🇸 — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has outlined the specific last-minute U.S. demands that collapsed the bilateral trade negotiations, denouncing them as a cumulative effort to block a true economic partnership.
➡️ The final American proposal introduced restrictive measures targeting the automotive industry and Canada's broader trade diversification strategies:
«First, with respect to the auto industry, Americans wanted to limit tariff exemptions to light autos only, excluding medium and heavy-duty trucks. For example, Ford's new plan in Oakville for F-350s, 450s, and 550s, as well as the GM Silverado, would have been excluded with no rationale.
Second, the U.S. introduced language in the last hours to restrict our ability to have other trade deals, aiming to limit the 20 new economic and security partnerships we accomplished this past year.»
«Third, there were continual efforts to restrict our protections of our language, our culture, and in effect, our sovereignty. Elements coming in, ramping up—any of them individually, but collectively—put us in a position where we would not accept the deal.»

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
Any interaction with the regime should quickly hear our message: those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership, those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
It is now a time for world leaders to make a decision between prosperity and isolation, peace and terror, America and Iran. The campaign we begin today will gather force with every day that follows
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
And American enforcement is negotiable under President Trump, that era is over. To the ordinary soldiers supporting this regime, as more and more of your paychecks stop or are supposedly just delayed, ask whether your commanders are leading your country to triumph or to ruin. And recall that the Berlin Wall fell when ordinary soldiers decided not to shoot at their own people.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
They condone illicit use of their banks all the while concealing the extent of their complicity. The President is making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
now faces a very clear choice with only two paths before them: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant on Iran:
has taken action that his predecessors have long deferred. And under his leadership, America is no longer managing the Iranian threat—we are ending it.
🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 — Israeli forces and the ISA conducted precise strikes in the Shati and Deir al-Balah areas of the Gaza Strip, dismantling two Hamas weapons storage facilities concealed within mosques, according to the assessment. The operation reportedly destroyed dozens of Kalashnikov rifles, magazines, and military equipment.
The IDF cited the incident as another example of Hamas’ "systematic exploitation" of civilian infrastructure "in violation of international law" — IDF Spokesperson.

He emphasized that the Islamic Republic remains unaffected by external pressures and demands that the U.S. fulfill its commitments under the memorandum — Tasnim News.
➡️ General Asim Munir reaffirmed Pakistan's ongoing diplomatic efforts to strengthen regional peace and security. Munir noted that Islamabad will continue its initiatives aimed at restoring stability across the region.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇳 — US Treasury Department plans to expand the scope of secondary sanctions on Monday against entities and countries maintaining business ties with Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will detail an "economic D-Day" pressure campaign at 17:00 GMT, intended to terminate a six-month conflict affecting the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf energy exports. The measures serve as a final warning for nations to sever ties or face exclusion from the dollar-based financial system, with Bessent characterizing the strategy as the "toughest sanctions in history" designed to reduce the necessity for kinetic military operations alongside the existing naval blockade — Reuters.
➡️ Treasury officials intend to identify additional categories of conduct subject to secondary sanctions, potentially penalizing any activity in specific Iranian sectors even when conducted in third countries. While the Treasury currently licenses transactions for medicine, medical devices, agricultural goods, and cultural exchanges, Bessent is expected to demand the closure of all remaining financial lifelines, including those through banks and nations previously tolerated. The administration has mapped Iran's "oil-smuggling and sanctions-evasion network" and will present these findings as a formal warning to complicit countries.
➡️ While the Treasury has already targeted independent Chinese "teapot" refineries and the shadow fleet in recent months, operations could now expand to banking institutions, a powerful tool the Trump administration previously withheld due to a delicate trade truce with Beijing. Sanctioning Chinese banks ahead of the late-September Washington summit between Trump and President Xi Jinping risks souring prospects for extending last November's agreement to cap U.S. tariffs and maintain Chinese rare earth flows. However, the ongoing U.S. port blockade has already curbed Beijing’s purchases of Iranian crude, potentially mitigating the friction of these prospective secondary sanctions.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸 — The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee, has stated that the failure of U.S. military operations against Iran has broken the prestige of American hardware, while dismissing incoming joint U.S.-Israeli economic blockades:
«After the American military aggression against Iran, the world saw that possessing an atomic bomb is more effective than hundreds of F-35s. The prestige of the F-35s was shattered in Iran, and Arab countries no longer trust American weapons. The American public opposes the war with Iran and does not support the U.S. military and government. In Iran, however, the nation and the government stand united behind the armed forces.
The Americans have completely lost hope in military strikes and now imagine that an economic blockade will aid their military objectives. Netanyahu promised Trump that if you subject Iran to an economic blockade for six months, or two to three months, it will surrender.
The world has realized that Trump's bluster is empty. Trump is alone and has become dependent on assistance from NATO and his allies. Iran, however, has learned over the past years to bypass sanctions and sell oil.»
⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸 — Post-Election Israel Must Repair US Alliance Damaged by Netanyahu’s Policies, — THE JERUSALEM POST.
➡️ In an analytical opinion piece published by The Jerusalem Post, commentators argue that as Israel approaches upcoming national elections, the incoming government will face an urgent mandate to mend diplomatic friction with the United States. Despite substantial military successes—including degrading Hamas, countering Hezbollah, and weakening regional adversaries—decades of governance under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have significantly eroded bipartisan American support and strained relations within the traditional Western coalition.
➡️ The piece emphasizes that future leadership must pivot from short-term tactical achievements to visionary statecraft by avoiding interference in U.S. domestic politics and fostering closer collaboration on next-generation security technologies.

⚡️🇮🇷 — The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaee, has demanded a structural overhaul of the country's diplomacy:
«An evolution has occurred in Iran's defense strategies, and it has been in a state of continuous defensive-political evolution since the second imposed war. Today's Iran is not the Iran from before the war; this also applies to the self-important United States. The image of a peace-seeking, embellished America has changed in the minds of Iranian youth, and the entire world now looks at Iran through a new lens.
After multiple rounds of negotiations and American breaches of faith, reforms must be implemented regarding the diplomatic conduct of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the world.»
⚡️🇮🇱🇸🇾🇹🇷 — Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has confirmed that the airstrike on Syria’s Abu al-Duhur airport was executed following multiple IDF recommendations to counter imminent Turkish military operations — Ynet.
➡️ The strike was authorized after direct coordination efforts with Washington and warnings to Damascus went unheeded, forcing a tactical retreat from Ankara:
«The IDF recommended multiple times to carry out the strike on the Abu al-Duhur airport in Syria, given the clear intelligence received regarding Turkey's intentions to conduct operations there that would jeopardize the security of the State.
After the appeal went unanswered, the Prime Minister and I authorized the IDF to execute the strike, which was successfully carried out. Erdogan was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and was forced to retreat.»
«The response of the US envoy, Barrack, is full of inaccuracies and positions that contradict the stance of US President Trump himself regarding the Golan Heights.»
⚡️🇨🇦🇺🇸 — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced immediate, symmetrical counter-tariffs against the United States:
«Canada will match Washington's new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses. Our response will be concentrated in sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Also include products that are currently subject to unjustified Section 232 and 301 tariffs.
This is a focused response to protect and defend our industries and allow them to compete with U.S. products in the Canadian market. In the coming days, we'll release details of these new tariff measures—measures which will come into force the Tuesday after Labor Day.»
