US Launches 'Operation Economic Outcast' to Cut Off Iran's Global Funding
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the launch of 'Operation Economic Outcast' to sever Iran's global funding channels, calling on international whistleblowers for actionable intelligence.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced today (Monday) the launch of 'Operation Economic Outcast', aimed at severing all funding channels of the Iranian regime and its facilitators. "This is why I have issued a new call for whistleblowers and informants to provide us with details on those assisting Iranian terrorism," Bessent stated.
Targeting Global Financial Networks
Bessent emphasized that individuals worldwide possessing actionable intelligence regarding these financial conduits have a unique opportunity. Informants providing actionable data to the Treasury may qualify for financial rewards, regardless of their geographic location or employer. "If you see something, say something," he urged.
"In World War II, D-Day marked the historic beginning of a campaign where we worked alongside our allies to strike the enemy and remove them from their positions, including those in third countries," Bessent declared.
A Zero-Tolerance Financial Policy
The Treasury's sweeping campaign seeks to isolate Tehran completely by cutting off every economic lifeline sustaining the regime. Bessent noted that the Iranian leadership actively pursues nuclear capabilities while chanting slogans against the United States, citing past attacks on American citizens and security personnel.
