Middle East: Trump threatens Iran with "economic war"
Donald Trump has yet to see 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 from Iran, as he faces domestic pressure ahead of the midterm elections.
He described his planned measures as "historic" and "the most devastating economic operation" ever undertaken against a country, likening it to an "economic D-Day" for Iran.
