How will Trump's economic 'D-Day' plan impact Iran's nuclear, ballistic missile threat? - analysis

How long do Israel, the US, and the West want to give Iran to figure out ways to charge forward on the nuclear or ballistic missile issues with whatever it has left?

The Trump administration's proposed "economic D-Day" against Iran, aimed at curbing its nuclear and ballistic missile threats, appears to have had little immediate impact. While the strategy may succeed over time, it remains uncertain if China's continued oil purchases from Iran will deter the U.S. from taking military action. The U.S. economy is currently facing challenges, with gas prices rising from as low as $2.80 a gallon to $4.05, possibly making Trump reconsider the strategy before it yields results.

Israel may benefit from a long-term economic campaign, as it could weaken Iran's support for terror groups and reduce its nuclear and missile capabilities. However, the process is slow, and Iran may continue to rebuild its programs with financial aid from China and Russia.
