Trump declares 'Economic D-Day' against Iran, promises consequences to any country providing aid

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping economic offensive against Iran, declaring it an "Economic D-Day" and promising the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country." In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump asserted that the United States would target Iran with unprecedented economic pressure.

“

This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY. The United States will be targeting Iran with the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country.

Trump issued a stark warning to the international community, stating that any nation providing aid to Iran would face "tremendous economic consequences." He specifically called out activities such as oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, and front companies, demanding they cease immediately. "You know who you are," he added, implying direct knowledge of entities involved.

“

Any country which provided aid to Iran would face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences.

The president framed these actions as historic measures designed to cripple Iran's capacity to spread terror globally and to ensure the country never obtains nuclear weapons. He described Iran as "maniacs" who were "on the ropes," suggesting a weakened state.

“

Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies - It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are.

Meanwhile, Trump's envoy Jared Kushner indicated that while U.S. negotiations with various factions of the Iranian government were ongoing and perhaps more robust than ever, no understanding had yet been reached. Kushner emphasized that Trump prioritized economic pressure over military action, focusing on a blockade that has significantly weakened Iran's economy.

“

These HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide. IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
