Trump Announces ‘Economic D-Day’ Against Iran, Warns ‘Worse Coming’

Trump then expanded the warning beyond Tehran, putting governments and businesses around the world on notice that assisting Iran could expose them to American economic retaliation.

“I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences,” Trump said.

The president specifically identified several methods that he said countries and businesses must prevent Iran from using to evade the growing economic pressure.

“Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies — It all needs to stop NOW,” Trump declared.

“You know who you are,” he added.

Trump then called upon American allies to participate in an effort he compared to the historic Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.

“This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat,” Trump said.

“These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide,” he added.
