WorldUS economic pressure will not force Iran to surrender, says Trita Parsi

The Trump administration has launched “Operation Economic Outcast” to cut Iran off from global economic lifelines. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it “economic D-Day” and warned that countries trading with Tehran would face sanctions. Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute told Al Jazeera the strategy is highly unlikely to force Iran’s surrender and could provoke a dangerous escalation.
