Iran's speaker mocks Trump's slogan, proposes 'Make America Hungry Again'

Iran's Parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, has sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's economic strategy and signature slogan. Mocking Trump's "Make America Great Again," Qalibaf proposed a new slogan: "Make America Hungry Again." He asserted that China's response could determine the success or failure of Trump's new strategy.

Qalibaf presented data suggesting that 47 million Americans face hunger daily, accusing the U.S. administration of attempting to conceal its failures behind "false claims." His remarks were made as the United States initiated a new phase of economic pressure against Iran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced what he described as the "D-Day" of sanctions, the most severe in history.

Make America Hungry Again!

The Trump administration's objective is to drastically limit financial inflows into Iran, particularly revenue from oil exports. The sanctions also threaten economic repercussions for countries, banks, and companies that assist Iran in circumventing the U.S. blockade. This intensified economic warfare aims to achieve what decades of previous sanctions have failed to accomplish.

The Iranian official's strong condemnation highlights the escalating tensions between the two nations, particularly concerning economic policies and international trade. The new U.S. sanctions represent a significant escalation in the pressure campaign against Iran's economy.
