The United States imposed restrictions on an Egyptian bank as part of its economic campaign against Iran. This measure comes as part of a broader strategy of economic pressure on Tehran.
Scott Bessent announced the details of the so-called "Economic Pariah Operation," which directly targets the Iranian regime. The stated objective of this operation is to impose sanctions on all individuals and entities that do business with Tehran.
The operation represents an escalation in the maximum pressure policy practiced by the US administration against Iran. The restrictions on the Egyptian bank indicate that Washington is willing to target Tehran's trading partners to maximize economic pressure on the Iranian regime.
