쿠팡 입주 인천 물류센터서 또 불…3천여명 대피 소동

President Donald Trump declared a "most powerful economic operation" against Iran, warning of "enormous economic consequences" for any third country trading with or providing financial and logistical networks to Iran. He threatened comprehensive "secondary sanctions" against financial institutions, companies, airports, and government agencies of any nation facilitating trade or bypassing sanctions.

Trump urged allied countries to join in isolating Iran, specifically targeting their dealings with China and urging the South Korean government to assist in the U.S. economic pressure. Trump claimed he had given Iran more opportunities to reach agreements than anyone else, and they missed those chances. He vowed to impose unprecedented economic warfare and isolation on Iran, targeting "life lines" provided by third countries to Iran.

Nations allowing any form of lifeline to Iran would face severe economic repercussions. Trump also specifically listed methods of trade and bypass networks that must be immediately halted, including oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, wire transfers, ship registration, and front companies. He threatened to cut off the export of Iranian oil, financial transactions, currency exchanges, and bypass networks through shipping and front companies.
