Trump's announcement, described as the "most devastating economic operation ever launched against any country," aims to sever financial and trade lifelines supporting Tehran. He also issued a stern warning to countries facilitating economic lifelines for Iran, threatening them with severe economic consequences. Trump urged allies to join the U.S. in isolating Iran, framing the initiative as an "economic war and isolation on an unprecedented scale."
