Iran War: Trump threatens Iran with "economic war"
Whether on a military or diplomatic level: Donald Trump has yet to achieve any visible successes in his war against Iran. The pressure on him is increasing. Now the US President is stepping up his rhetoric.
US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with an unprecedented "economic war" amid a lack of progress in negotiations with Tehran. He warned that any country or institution supporting Iran would face "gigantic economic consequences". Trump called for the help of all US allies to stop the threat posed by Iran, as he faces domestic pressure ahead of the midterm elections.
He spoke of "measures of historic proportions" and an "economic D-Day" for Iran, comparing it to the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Trump also suggested that US sanctions against Iran may be expanded.
