A new Treasury Department report indicates that U.S. economic pressure has significantly weakened Iran's economy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is advocating for this strategy, dubbed "Operation Economic Outcast," to continue. The report asserts that U.S. actions have crippled Iran's economy and limited its revenue generation capabilities. This economic campaign is running in parallel with diplomatic efforts and potential military preparations. The Treasury campaign, launched in late August, needs more time to destabilize the regime and encourage concessions. Recent briefings highlighted the ongoing naval blockade and the economic pressure campaign's effectiveness. The Iranian rial has depreciated by about a quarter since August, and inflation has surged to 90%. Iran has not loaded oil onto tankers since August due to the blockade and sanctions. The U.S. is also isolating Iran from international trade, aviation, and banking systems. Overland trade routes are experiencing significant bottlenecks, and several countries have barred Iranian airlines.
