Trump Announces \u2018Economic D-Day\u2019 Against Iran, Warns Countries Supporting Tehran of Severe Consequences.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Washington:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

US President Donald J. Trump has announced what he described as the \u201cmost crushing economic operation ever taken against any country,\u201d declaring a new phase of economic warfare and international isolation against Iran.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump said Iran had failed to take what he described as an opportunity to reach a deal with the United States. He said Washington would now pursue economic pressure on Tehran \u201con an unprecedented scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump warned that the new campaign would not be limited to Iran. He said countries, financial institutions, businesses, airports and government entities providing what he called an economic \u201clifeline\u201d to Tehran could face what he described as \u201ctremendous economic consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oil smuggling, financial networks targeted<\/h4>\n

Trump specifically called for an end to activities including oil smuggling, financial swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries and the use of front companies to support Iran.<\/p>\n

The announcement signals an effort to target the channels through which Iran continues to access international trade and financial networks. The Trump administration has also indicated that the United States wants its allies and other countries to join the campaign to further isolate Tehran economically.<\/p>\n

Trump described the campaign as an \u201cEconomic D-Day\u201d and called on US allies to stand with Washington in isolating Iran. He argued that the measures would significantly weaken Tehran\u2019s ability to project power and support what he described as terrorist activities worldwide.<\/p>\n

Trump claims Iran\u2019s military severely weakened<\/h4>\n

In his statement, Trump also claimed that Iran\u2019s military capabilities had suffered extensive damage, asserting that its navy and air force had been destroyed and that military factories had been reduced to rubble.<\/p>\n

He further claimed that Iran\u2019s currency had become \u201cworthless\u201d and that the country was \u201changing by a thread.\u201d These statements were presented by Trump as justification for shifting the focus toward an intensified economic campaign.<\/p>\n

Nuclear programme remains central issue<\/h4>\n

Trump reiterated his administration\u2019s position that Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,\u201d Trump declared at the conclusion of his statement, making the nuclear issue a central part of his broader pressure campaign against Tehran.<\/p>\n

The latest announcement comes amid a prolonged confrontation between Washington and Tehran, with diplomatic efforts reportedly stalled and tensions continuing over Iran\u2019s nuclear programme and regional security.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials have rejected Trump\u2019s latest threats, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi describing the move as a diversion from problems facing the United States. Tehran has also characterised the renewed pressure campaign as economic aggression.<\/p>\n

Wider impact on global trade and energy markets<\/h4>\n

The threatened measures could have implications well beyond Iran if Washington moves to penalise foreign companies and governments that continue commercial or financial dealings with Tehran.<\/p>\n

Markets have already reacted to the heightened geopolitical tensions. Oil prices moved higher following Trump\u2019s announcement, reflecting concerns over potential disruptions to energy supplies and trade routes in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The announcement therefore marks a significant escalation in Washington\u2019s economic pressure on Tehran, with the United States seeking broader international cooperation to cut Iran off from financial and commercial channels while maintaining its demand that Iran never acquire a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
