US President Donald Trump has announced what he described as a “crushing” economic campaign against Iran, warning countries and businesses supporting Tehran that they could face “tremendous” costs.
Trump referred to the measures as “economic D-day” and called on US allies to join efforts to isolate Iran economically.
The US president also reiterated his position that Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, signalling that Washington intends to maintain strong pressure on Tehran.
The announcement comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, with the latest measures expected to further strain economic and diplomatic ties.
Trump’s warning could also have wider implications for global markets and countries maintaining commercial relations with Iran, as governments assess the potential consequences of tougher US economic pressure.
