Treasury official Scott Bessent is leading an "Operation Economic Outcast" to isolate the Iranian regime by cutting them off from the U.S. dollar system and the Federal Reserve wire. The strategy involves secondary sanctions on entities doing business with the IRGC and tracking down illegitimate assets in the British Virgin Islands. Additionally, the U.S. plans to bypass the Strait of Hormuz within two years using land-based pipelines.

The U.S. is reportedly engaging in financial warfare to pressure European nations to end the conflict in Ukraine by disrupting the "yen-carry trade." By manipulating the exchange rates between the Yen and the Euro, the administration is making it more difficult for Europe to finance the war. This move comes amid reports of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visiting Moscow to discuss diplomatic resolutions with Vladimir Putin.
