August 27 , 2026 16 hrs 0 min 7 0

The United States launched “Operation Economic Outcast” to economically isolate Iran by targeting its financial and commercial networks.
The US is targeting digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping linked to Iran.
The first phase includes sanctions against more than 60 entities, individuals and vessels.
Secondary sanctions may penalise foreign businesses and banks that facilitate prohibited transactions with Iran.
China is a major test of the campaign as it bought more than 80% of Iran’s shipped oil in 2025.
