  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has announced a new plan to impose economic pressure on Iran, threatening \"tremendous economic consequences\" for any country that supports Iran's economy. According to MarketWatch, Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform.\n\nIran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected Trump's plan, calling it a continuation of failed policies, as reported by the Daily Times and Gulf News. Araghchi also accused the US of threatening global economic stability.\n\nThe new plan aims to isolate Iran from the global economy, with Trump warning that countries allowing their financial institutions to provide Iran with an economic lifeline could face US punishment, according to Gulf News.",
