Trump Announces Unprecedented Economic Campaign Against Iran to Enforce Isolation
US President Donald Trump announced a major economic operation against Iran overnight between Wednesday and Thursday. He claimed that no one had given the Islamic Republic a greater chance for a deal than he had, but that Iran failed to seize the opportunity. Trump declared this campaign would be the most crushing economic action ever taken against any country.
Trump made the announcement on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating the operation would involve unprecedented economic warfare and isolation. He described Iran’s navy as vanished, its air force destroyed, military factories ruined, currency worthless, and the country on the brink of collapse.
Although Trump did not detail the specific measures included in the campaign, he warned that any country maintaining economic relations with Iran, whether through financial institutions, government bodies, businesses, or airports, would face economic consequences themselves. He called this a "D-Day economic" moment and urged all allies to join in isolating and defeating the Iranian threat.
Trump emphasized that these historic steps aim to silence Iran and prevent it from imposing terror worldwide, reiterating that Iran will never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.
