Former US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday what he termed the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country” targeting Iran. He described this as “economic warfare” and an “ECONOMIC D-DAY,” citing frustration with Iran’s refusal to capitulate. The operation aims for unprecedented economic conflict and isolation, with Trump threatening severe financial penalties on any nation, financial institution, business, airport, or government entity that provides a “lifeline” to Iran. He also claimed that Iran’s military facilities have been destroyed and its currency rendered worthless.
