- Trump administration declared 'economic D-Day' against Iran, framing its latest push as a categorical economic confrontation.
- The ultimatum to global trade partners demands they cut all financial ties with Tehran or face severe economic consequences, with CBC host Avneet Dhillon exploring how secondary sanctions threaten to put the U.S. itself in tension with its own trading partners.

The segment flags that secondary sanctions — the mechanism for enforcing that ultimatum — threaten to put the U.S. in tension with its own trading partners, a strategic cost the source explicitly highlights.
