Comment: Trump's "D-Day" threat doesn't work for a simple reason
The USA cannot defeat Iran militarily and are now trying to wage an economic war. But the prospects of success are no better than those of the military approach.
US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with the "most devastating economic operation" ever carried out against a country. The US has cancelled a planned military exercise with South Korea in September, citing a lack of troops. The cancellation and Trump's comments suggest that the US may be trying to use economic pressure instead of military force against Iran. The Iranian economy is currently experiencing difficulties, including a record low currency value, high inflation, and shortages of essential supplies.
