Trump Declares Economic Warfare on Iran With 'Economic D-Day' Vibe

Original version ·

Looks like the max pressure campaign just got a massive, capitalized upgrade.

It seems like Donald Trump decided that regular sanctions were just too quiet. He just announced what he is calling the most crushing economic operation ever against Iran. Apparently, anyone acting as a lifeline for them—from banks to shipping companies—is in for a rough time.

He is branding this whole thing as an Economic D-Day. The goal is to isolate them completely, though the details on exactly how he plans to pull this off are still a bit of a mystery. It is essentially a high-stakes follow-up to the old Obama-era nuclear deal fallout, aimed at getting them on the ropes while keeping the pressure turned up to eleven.

Whatever happens next, it is definitely going to be loud and expensive. A bold strategy for someone who also claims he is totally open to talking eventually.
