You know who you are,” he wrote, calling it an “ECONOMIC D-DAY” and urging US allies to join Washington in isolating and defeating what he described as the Iranian threat.Describing the Iranian as "maniacs," he further stated that these "historic measures" would "cripple" Tehran and and its "ability to project terror worldwide."Catch the latest World News and Live updates.
