The United States has imposed new sanctions on 60 entities across various countries, including China and Hong Kong. This action, termed "Economic D-Day" by the Trump administration, is part of an effort to economically pressure Iran. The sanctions aim to expand secondary sanctions, warning entities that maintain economic and commercial ties with Iran to take immediate action. These measures follow failed military strikes and diplomatic negotiations intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resolve a six-month conflict.
