Trump announces the start of an unprecedented economic war and isolation against Iran.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced the start of what he called the most crushing economic operation against Iran and said this action will include economic war and isolation on an unprecedented scale.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that Iran has been given ample opportunity to reach an agreement but Tehran has failed to seize this opportunity.
He warned that countries that assist Iran through financial institutions, companies, airports, or government entities will face massive economic consequences.
The U.S. President named oil smuggling, transferring oil between tankers, moving cash, using exchange bureaus, and registering ships under shell companies as targeted activities, and urged Washington’s allies to stand with America in this action against Iran.
