The US Treasury Secretary has announced that the final phase of the conflict with Iran has begun, according to EADaily. The statement, reported on Monday, August 24, 2026, signals an escalation in the ongoing confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
EADaily, citing the Treasury chief, reports that the United States is now entering the concluding stage of its military and economic campaign against Iran. The announcement was also covered by Interfax, which quoted the official as saying the US is moving into the final stretch of the dispute. The remarks suggest that Washington intends to intensify pressure on Tehran in the coming period.
The declaration comes amid broader reporting on US strategy toward Iran. The BBC has noted that Washington is threatening to crush Iran with new sanctions, framing the approach as "who is not with us is against us." According to the BBC, questions remain over how painful these punitive measures could actually be for the Iranian economy. Meanwhile, URA.RU has reported that the US has announced a "D-Day" for the economy of the warring country, suggesting a coordinated economic offensive is planned.
Despite the US pressure campaign, analysts cited by DW.com point out that Iran still retains leverage in its confrontation with the United States. This suggests that while Washington is confident about entering the final phase, Tehran may still have tools to respond.
The situation remains fluid, and the coming weeks will likely reveal whether the US economic measures achieve their stated goals or provoke further retaliation from Iran.
