US President Donald Trump announced a new unprecedented economic operation called "D-Day" against Iran on the social media platform Truth Social. The plan aims to impose total economic isolation on Iran and enforce a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed that he had offered Iran the greatest opportunity for a deal, which they failed to seize.
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized the move as a distraction from America's domestic financial crises, including debt and rising interest rates. He warned that the US economic offensive and intensified policies would lead to another defeat for America against Iran and harm the global economy and Iran’s sovereignty.
The US strategy includes preventing oil smuggling, blocking cash transfers, and targeting front companies. It also threatens economic consequences for any country maintaining ties with Iran through institutions, businesses, or airports. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant added that the measures combine economic isolation with blocking entry and exit from Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to completely deny Iran the capability to possess nuclear weapons or spread terrorism.
