Trump Announces Economic Campaign Against Iran, Warns Supporters of Consequences
US President Donald Trump announced an "economic D-Day" campaign targeting Iran's economy, warning countries, businesses, and financial institutions that provide support to Tehran of "tremendous economic consequences." The measures aim to halt activities such as oil smuggling, cash transfers, currency swaps, and the use of front companies. Trump described the operation as the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country" and urged US allies to isolate Iran. Iranian officials criticized the move as a diversion from US domestic economic issues. The announcement comes amid ongoing conflict and stalled diplomatic efforts.

India Removes Unauthorised Structures Outside Pakistan High Commission in Reciprocal Move
Indian authorities removed unauthorised structures and security barricades outside the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi, following a similar move by Pakistani officials at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad three days earlier. The dismantling targeted encroachments beyond the mission's approved boundary, including queue-management installations near the visa section. This reciprocal action reflects ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two countries, which have seen limited formal engagement since last year's military confrontation and related terror attacks. The main entrance of the Pakistan High Commission remained unaffected.
