Why it matters
The announcement signals a significant escalation in U.S. foreign policy and economic warfare, with potential global trade implications.
According to Trump, the new measures are aimed at cutting off Iran from international financial and commercial networks and preventing the country from obtaining economic support from foreign governments and businesses.
US President Donald Trump has announced what he described as the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country” against Iran, warning governments, businesses and financial institutions that provide support to Tehran that they will face severe economic consequences.
Trump made the announcement in a statement posted on his social media platform on Thursday, declaring that the United States would launch what he called “economic warfare” and unprecedented isolation against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me. TRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it,” Trump wrote.
