Iran War: Economic "D-Day": Trump's serve in the Iran war

US President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose an economic war on Iran, nearly six months after the start of the conflict. He warned of severe economic consequences for countries and institutions that support Iran, stating that they will face "tremendous economic consequences". Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi dismissed Trump's announcement, saying it was an attempt to divert attention from US domestic problems, including a historically high debt level.

The move has been met with skepticism, with experts warning that increased economic pressure is unlikely to bring about a change in Iran's stance.
