Trump Announces "Toughest Economic Operation Ever" Against Iran

President Trump has announced what he calls "the toughest economic operation ever taken against any country," targeting Iran with unprecedented sanctions and economic isolation. The measures include severe consequences for any nation whose financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government bodies provide Iran with assistance of any kind. Trump stated that oil smuggling, currency exchanges, cash transfers, and shell companies must cease immediately. He warned this would be "economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale," citing Iran's weakened military position and worthless currency. Trump called on allies to join the U.S. in isolating Iran, declaring "these madmen are on the ropes" and vowing "Iran will never have nuclear weapons."
