Iran's top diplomat has strongly rebuked U.S. President Donald Trump's newly announced "Economic D-Day" operation, labeling it a doomed strategy that will ultimately lead to further American defeats and intensified Iranian hostility. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted that the U.S. campaign is merely a diversion from its own internal struggles, citing unprecedented debt and soaring interest costs.
The so-called 'Economic D-Day' is a distraction from the crises facing America itself: unprecedented debt and ever-increasing interest costs.
Araghchi stated via social media that continuing with failed policies will only result in greater losses and deeper animosity from the Iranian people. He characterized the U.S. approach as "economic terrorism," warning that it poses a threat to the global economy and the sovereignty of various nations worldwide.
Continuing with policies that have already failed will only lead to further defeat and greater animosity from the Iranian people.
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."
The U.S. 'economic terrorism' threatens the global economy and the sovereignty of a number of countries around the world.
