Former US President Donald Trump posted a brief, emphatic message on Truth Social Monday afternoon declaring, "IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!" The post, signed "President DJT," quickly gained thousands of likes and shares. This statement coincides with a historic announcement by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who declared the United States is entering the final phase of an economic campaign against Iran.
Yellen described the upcoming "D-Day economic" operation as the largest financial assault ever launched against an adversary. The goal is to sever all economic lifelines sustaining the Iranian regime until Tehran stands isolated. The sanctions will target independent Chinese refineries purchasing smuggled Iranian oil, foreign banks facilitating money transfers, digital money laundering systems, cryptocurrency exchanges, Iranian airlines, and a covert naval fleet used to bypass the embargo.
Yellen emphasized that maximum economic pressure might prevent the need for a broad military operation. She warned that the Iranian regime is at its most vulnerable point, and this financial offensive aims to exploit that weakness. Trump also threatened to extend sanctions to countries aiding Iran in circumventing restrictions, cautioning that any nation providing financial or logistical support to Iran would face severe economic consequences.
These developments come amid reports of Iran's worsening economic crisis, marked by high inflation, a depreciating rial, and growing public protests. International observers are closely monitoring the unfolding situation, with Trump's statements continuing to influence global discourse on the Middle East and pressure on the Iranian government.
