Donald Trump says Iran faces "the most crushing economic operation ever taken" in new sanctions

President Donald Trump announced a significant escalation of economic pressure on Iran, describing it as an "economic D-day" and the most severe economic action ever taken against a nation. This declaration follows a period of conflict that began in February with joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian sites, leading to Iranian retaliation and failed negotiations over issues including Iran's nuclear program. Trump warned that any country aiding Iran financially or economically would face severe consequences, emphasizing the need for allies to join the US in isolating Iran.
