🇺🇸❌🇮🇷一 US President Trump announces what he calls the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country,” declaring unprecedented economic warfare and isolation against Iran.

Trump says any country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports or government entities to provide Iran with an economic lifeline will face “TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences,” specifically targeting oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries and front companies.

“This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY,” Trump declared, calling on U.S. allies to completely isolate Iran and vowing: “IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”

💵📈🇺🇸一 The US national debt has reached a record $40 trillion, having grown by $3 trillion over the past year to a point where public debt now roughly equals the size of the entire US economy.

Consequently, the cost of interest payments on this debt now exceeds the government's entire national defense budget.

This exceeded the Congressional Budget Office's projections that it would reach this level during fiscal year 2028.

😌🇮🇷一 IRGC spox Brigadier General Hossein Mohebi:

- We are advancing day by day in all areas of weapons and combat equipment, and we are working to produce our weapons with greater precision, destructive power, and technological advancement.

- If war breaks out again, our weapons will certainly be different from those of the past. This difference may manifest in the generation of warheads, accuracy, missile range, or other areas.

- Iran has never ceased producing and developing weapons, and we are making progress every day. All possibilities in this field remain open.

- Israel has entered its third year of war on Gaza, yet it has not been able to inflict significant damage on Hamas. How, then, can Saudi Arabia, whose military capabilities are less than Israel's, confront Ansar Allah and the Yemeni fighters? It is impossible.

- Saudi Arabia will not be able to contain Yemen and Ansar Allah, nor will it be able to remain immune from their attacks.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸— Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi:

They claim Iran is on the brink of collapse and hanging by a thread, yet they beg all their allies to help them!

The problem is the wrong calculations that, each time to cover them up, they’re forced to create a bigger failure for themselves.

The military war didn’t yield results, so now they’ve named the next failure “economic war.”

🇮🇱❌🇬🇧— Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

Britain itself still controls colonial territories thousands of miles from its shores. It is absurd for Britain to lecture the Jewish people about where they may live in their historic tiny homeland, when the Jewish people’s connection and right to this land is the most extensively documented of any people in human history.

The UK Government’s decision to damage the relationship between our countries is deeply unfortunate. But Israel will not be a passive victim of this policy.
