President Donald Trump has said the US will inflict "TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences" on any country that helps or does business with Iran.

He wrote in all capital letters on Truth Social that he was launching "the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country!" He gave no further details, and did not name any other nation.

It comes after a 60-day ceasefire with Iran expired on Monday, with no sign of a diplomatic or military off-ramp to the conflict that the US and Israel began at the end of February.

Trump's latest move appears to extend the pressure campaign of Operation Economic Fury, launched in April to sanction foreign banks or firms that do business with Tehran.

In Wednesday evening's social media post, Trump said he was launching "economic D-Day" on Iran because the Islamic Republic had failed to make a deal with the US.

Iran does business with China, India, and Pakistan. So let's go total sanctions of all those 3 countries, lock their funds, kick them all out of Swift system. Cut all trades with them and so no more oil for them.

From the President that brought you hits like "Four Week War", "60 Day Ceasefire", "Iran's Begging for a Deal", and "Bridge and Power Plant Day" comes the next hit, "Economic D Day"

If you loved Bridge and Power Plant Day, you're gonna love this one says Roger and Ebert...

I often wonder if he ever actually believes what he says relative to Iran. He’s told some tall tales lately

I hate this shite.

It’s getting harder and harder to gloss over and ignore.

Do, or do not, but I’m tired of the bluster.

Make big sticks and speaking softly great again!

Iran has been on Double Secret Probation for a while now, may as well announce it at Chapter Meeting.

Did he end it with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter"
?

Why do you want this country to turn into a Marxist country, or worse? I'm being serious. Do you think we aren't headed there under Democrats? Or do you support it?

We allowed Iran to take control of the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt a large portion of the world oil supply causing an increase in oil prices from $75 to $144 and inflation for everyone.

biden said the same thing about russia after the ukraine war started. the russian ruble is rubble he said. didn't happen there and probably won't in iran. meanwhile government debt here is now going up 1 trillion every 90 days. our d day can't be too far off.

What part of this Iran clusterfrick war is linked to us turning into a Marxist country? I and many others have said this war was a mistake from the get go.
