Scott Bessent calls his new Iran sanctions 'Economic D-Day'

It seems like Scott Bessent decided that standard diplomacy was just too quiet, opting instead to label his latest round of Iran sanctions as an 'economic D-Day'. It is a bold choice of words that definitely implies someone expects fireworks.
Tehran is playing its part in this script perfectly, promising to respond in a 'seismic manner.' Because apparently, nothing says geopolitical stability like trading catastrophic metaphors while the actual economy hangs in the balance.
