⚠️ TRUMP ANNOUNCES “MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION” AGAINST IRAN: President Trump announced what he described as “the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY,” declaring an unprecedented campaign of economic warfare and isolation against Iran after saying Tehran had failed to take the opportunity he offered to reach a deal.
Trump warned that any country allowing its financial institutions, businesses, airports or government entities to provide Iran with a “lifeline” would face “TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences.” He said oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries and front companies “all need to stop NOW,” and called on U.S. allies to join the effort to isolate Iran and cripple its ability to project terror worldwide. Trump described the measures as an “ECONOMIC D-DAY” and concluded: “IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi responded: "The so-called 'Economic D-Day' is a diversion from America's own crisis: unprecedented debt & surging interest costs. Doubling down on failed policies will only bring further defeat — and enmity of Iranians. US economic terrorism threatens global economy and sovereignty worldwide".
