President Donald Trump issued one of his broadest economic warnings yet Wednesday, dramatically escalating the administration’s pressure campaign against Iran. He threatened consequences for any countries that help Tehran evade American restrictions.
Trump announced what he described as an “Economic D-Day” against Iran, promising an unprecedented effort to isolate the country financially. He warned governments and businesses around the world against providing Tehran with any economic support.
“Today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.”
