Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US will soon unveil a plan to economically isolate Iran and its trading partners following Trump’s warning of an “economic D-Day” to break the Middle East stalemate. The move implies tighter economic pressure/sanctions risks that could disrupt regional trade flows and raise energy and credit risk premiums. Market impact is likely through risk-off positioning given the escalation in geopolitical and sanctions prospects.
