The Economic D‑Day Against Iran

When President Trump first talked about launching an “economic D‑Day” on Iran, many shrugged it off as campaign rhetoric. 

Six months later, after the joint U.S.–Israeli strikes of February 28, 2026, that rhetoric turned into a full‑blown financial offensive. Today, the sanctions regime looks less like a diplomatic tool and more like a siege designed to choke off every dollar that keeps Tehran’s economy breathing.

In plain language, the United States has turned the financial system into a weapon. By cutting off access to SWIFT, freezing assets, and threatening any third‑party that does business with Iran, Washington hopes to force Tehran back to the negotiating table or, as critics argue, to cripple the regime’s ability to fund its military and proxy networks.

Afghanistan | The Taliban Banned The Use Of Foreign Currency

The Taliban government has banned the use of foreign currency, which could further hurt the already struggling economy.

Taliban from Afghanistan are also frozen assets abroad while facing Afghanistan in mid-August to take Kabul after the fall of the currency.

Banks are running out of cash in the country's hesitant economy, and the international community has so far refused to recognize the new government.
