\nIn a statement on Truth Social, Trump said the US would seek to cut off financial and commercial channels supporting Iran, describing the campaign as \u201cEconomic Warfare\u201d and \u201cEconomic D-Day.\u201d
\nHe warned that countries allowing financial institutions, businesses, airports or government entities to provide any \u201clifeline\u201d to Iran would face \u201ctremendous economic consequences.\u201d
\nTrump specifically mentioned oil smuggling, financial swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries and front companies, saying such activities must stop.
\nHe also claimed that Iran\u2019s military capabilities had been severely weakened, saying its navy, air force and military factories had suffered extensive damage. He described Iran\u2019s currency as \u201cworthless\u201d and said the country was \u201changing by a thread.\u201d
\nTrump urged US allies to support Washington in isolating Iran and reiterated that Iran \u201cwill never have a nuclear weapon.\u201d
\nMeanwhile, Iran\u2019s semi-official Tasnim news agency described the announcement as another version of Washington\u2019s \u201cfailed\u201d maximum-pressure campaign.
