U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday what he called unprecedented "economic warfare" against Iran and pledged isolation as well as "consequences" for any country that gives it a "lifeline" amid stalled negotiations with Tehran.
"No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, adding that Tehran had "failed to take it."
"Therefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!" Trump wrote.
"This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale," he added.
Any country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports or government entities to provide "any type of lifeline to Iran" would itself face "TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences," Trump wrote.
