Trump’s ‘Economic D-Day’ Slams Iran as the Rial Craters; Shin Bet Chief Defends Denying Eisenkot a Security Detail; Settlers Allegedly Beat Elderly West Bank Amputee

Author: Shanna Fuld August 24, 2026 Duration: 17:52
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Washington is entering the “endgame” of its standoff with Iran, unveiling a new wave of sanctions the Trump administration is calling an “economic D-Day” for Iran; Shin Bet chief David Zini says he alone made the call to deny election frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot an armed security detail, as Prime Minister Netanyahu warns an Eisenkot win would bring a “fascist regime”; and two Israeli teens are arrested after an elderly, disabled Palestinian man says he was beaten by settlers in the West Bank. Plus! Divers finally locate the wreck of the Altalena, 78 years after it sank off Tel Aviv’s coast.
