The Trump administration is waging intensified economic warfare against Iran under a plan it calls "Operation Economic Outcast."
“The short time ago Treasury Secretary Scott Besson announced the U.S. will target five”
critical sectors, digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping.
Besset Warren's country is doing business with Iran to stop saying it's no longer acceptable to operate in the gray spaces, while he did not name the countries that could face retaliation China, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey are among Iran's trade partners. "Our objective is to sever every economic pipeline that sustains this tyrannical regime until Iran stands alone."
Iran calls the new sanctions and economic form of terrorism to punish a country whose economy has already been severely hit by current sanctions, they run warrants it'll punish countries in the region if they cooperate with the U.S. Immigration authorities have arrested the father of a man serving on the U.S. as Abraham Lincoln that, until recently, have been operating in the Middle East, more from NPR's

The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Border Patrol agents arrested Luis
“Avelis during a vehicle stop in Key West, Florida.”
Avelis is from Nicaragua, and a post on Facebook Avelis's son Joshua Avelis, who has been on the U.S. as Abraham Lincoln for more than nine months, wrote, "I don't know how I can mentally continue working 12 plus hour days knowing that my dad is somewhere possibly being treated like a criminal."

Maria Gadoi and PR News The Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that some of President Trump's global tariffs
were illegal and refunds commenced, but shoppers are getting left out of billions of dollars in refunds.
“They've been going primarily to American businesses, and the Zenpere Stephen Bassaha explains”
a few of those companies are actually passing along those refunds to customers. Retailers shared the cost of tariffs with consumers, mainly by raising prices. But the Dean of Syracuse University's College of Law at Terrence Law says retailers are not sharing the refund because it's difficult to know how much more each shopper paid because of tariffs.
It's like the retailer stirred the tax into the batter, so once it's copeless at a cake, you can't just back it out, ingredient being greeted anymore, because it's not separated. Having companies like UPS, DHL, and FedEx are the exception here. They charge customers' tariffies and are now in the process of returning those fees to customers.
Walmart says it's sharing we funds through lower prices. "Let's Stephen Bassaha, it's NPR News." The United Kingdom is urging social media companies including TikTok to take down viral videos that celebrate dangerous driving. The government spoke out after two police officers were killed Saturday.

Now it's a quarter of them. Sydney Lepkin reporting, it's NPR. For the past 25 years, a rare Pacific ecosystem has been undisturbed. Now, the Trump administration is opening nearby waters to commercial fishing.
