In a Truth Social post last night, President Trump opened up a new front in the war against Iran’s radical Islamist regime. Since the mullahs refuse to make a deal, the president is now imposing “the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!” He added: “This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale. . . Today, 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. . . This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY.”
