Iran dismisses Trump's "economic D-Day" threat as more "failed policies"
Iran has shrugged off President Trump's threat to hit the Islamic Republic with an "economic D-Day" as a "doubling down on failed policies."
Iran dismissed President Trump's threat of an "economic D-Day" as more failed policies, according to the source. The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, stated that both allies and rivals should join the campaign against Iran, which he described as the greatest coordinated economic isolation in history. Six European countries and Canada also condemned Israel's plan to build more than 1,200 homes in an open tract of land east of Jerusalem, calling it an illegal move that undermines Israel's international standing.
Meanwhile, a U.S. official confirmed that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier is returning home after a nine-month deployment due to concerns over the mental health, sanitary conditions, and food shortages among its crew. The USS George Washington, which replaced the Abraham Lincoln, will now participate in the blockade of commercial ships entering and exiting Iranian ports via the Strait of Hormuz.
