Trump Announces Severe Economic Sanctions to Cripple Iran's Regime

On the night between Wednesday and Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump declared an unprecedented economic isolation campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling it "Economic D-Day." The operation aims to completely dismantle Iran's regime by cutting off its economic lifelines and preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons permanently. Trump emphasized that this historic step is designed to halt Iran's ability to spread terrorism worldwide.

Trump criticized Iran for failing to seize the opportunity for a deal offered by the U.S., tweeting that no country was given a greater chance to reach an agreement. He described Iran's military and economic condition as near collapse, stating that its navy is gone, air force destroyed, military factories reduced to ruins, currency worthless, and the nation hanging by a thread.

The president issued a stern ultimatum to any country or international entity that aids Iran in circumventing sanctions, warning that such assistance would bring severe economic consequences. He demanded an immediate halt to oil smuggling, barter deals, cash transfers, and the use of front companies to support Iran. Trump called on U.S. allies to join in this effort to defeat the Iranian threat, declaring, "These lunatics are on the ropes," and reaffirmed that Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons.
