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.
