The United States Treasury has begun
0:02
Operation Economic Outcast, an
0:05
unprecedented campaign against the
0:08
Islamic Republic of Iran and its
0:11
enablers. In the Second World War, D-Day
0:15
marked the historic beginning of a
0:18
campaign with our allies to target and
0:21
drive the enemy from its positions,
0:24
including those in third countries.
0:26
Today, in that same spirit, we are
0:30
launching an economic onslaught against
0:33
Iran's financial connections around the
0:36
globe. Our objective is to sever every
0:39
economic lifeline that sustains this
0:42
tyrannical regime until Tran stands
0:46
alone.
