Iran had every chance.<\/strong>\u00a0Trump offered deals. He offered pauses. He offered exits. He offered a diplomatic off-ramp at every stage of the conflict. Tehran responded by firing ballistic missiles at American forces, violating ceasefire agreements, mining the Strait of Hormuz, and continuing to plot the assassination of the President of the United States.<\/p>\n

Now comes the bill.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cTRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it,\u201d\u00a0Trump<\/strong>\u00a0posted Tuesday evening. \u201cTherefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.\u201d The military campaign has already done devastating work. \u201cTheir navy is gone, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now rubble, their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.\u201d Iran\u2019s inflation is running at 88 percent. The IRGC\u2019s own soldiers are reportedly not getting paid. The regime that spent 47 years threatening the West and murdering Americans is on the ropes in a way it has never been before. Economic D-Day is the next phase \u2013 and it comes with a warning to third parties that is as clear as anything\u00a0Trump<\/strong>\u00a0has ever said about foreign policy.<\/p>\n

Economic Warfare on Unprecedented Scale<\/h2>\n

\u201cANY 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.<\/strong>\u00a0Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies \u2013 It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are.\u201d \u201cYou know who you are.\u201d\u00a0China<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Russia<\/strong>\u00a0know who they are. Every country that has been quietly processing Iranian oil, handling Iranian financial transfers, or providing Tehran the economic oxygen it needs to keep functioning knows who they are. The warning is not ambiguous. The consequences will not be ambiguous either.<\/p>\n

This is what maximum pressure actually looks like when implemented by an administration that means it.<\/strong>\u00a0Not the Biden version \u2013 careful, half-measured, endlessly seeking European consensus, willing to ease sanctions in exchange for empty promises. The full version. Economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale, with secondary sanctions for anyone who tries to throw the regime a lifeline.\u00a0Scott Bessent<\/strong>\u00a0has been laying the groundwork for this escalation for weeks, promising measures \u201cnever seen before.\u201d The infrastructure \u2013 new sanctions frameworks, third-party penalty mechanisms, financial isolation tools built through months of Treasury work \u2013 was being assembled while the military campaign degraded Iran\u2019s physical capacity to fight back. Now both hammers drop simultaneously. Military degradation and economic strangulation, applied together, against a regime that is already hanging by a thread by\u00a0Trump<\/strong>\u2018s own description.<\/p>\n

Iran Will Never Have Nuclear Weapons<\/h2>\n

\u201cIRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Economic D-Day. The most crushing financial operation in American history. The mullahs had their chance to take a deal. They didn\u2019t. Now they find out what happens next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
