U.S. launches economic offensive targeting Iran and Canada

CNBC World reports that Washington has launched an economic offensive against Iran and Canada, two countries that it said are being grouped together despite the fact that they would not typically be linked.

The outlet characterizes the development as the start of a broader U.S. push that carries the prospect of retaliation tied to the actions.
