President Donald Trump has declared an "Economic D-Day" against Iran, announcing what he described as the "most destructive economic action ever taken against any country." In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that Iran had failed to seize opportunities for a deal, prompting this unprecedented wave of economic warfare and isolation.

Trump asserted that Iran's military capabilities are in ruins, its currency is worthless, and the nation is on the brink. He warned that any country allowing its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any form of "rescue" to Iran would face severe economic repercussions. Specific targets for immediate cessation include oil smuggling, currency exchange, cash transfers, foreign exchange, ship registration, and shell companies.
