Trump announces harshest economic operation ever against Iran

Trump said no one gave the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater chance to negotiate, but it failed to seize it. He announced what he called the harshest economic operation ever imposed on any country, describing it as economic warfare and unprecedented isolation. He said Iran’s navy is gone, its air force destroyed, its military factories reduced to rubble, its currency worth nothing, and its state hanging by a thread. He added that any country allowing its financial institutions, companies, airports, or government entities to provide any support to Iran would face severe economic consequences, and said oil smuggling, barter arrangements, cash transfers, exchange offices, ship records, and shell companies must stop now.
