\u201cNo one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a Deal than me,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cTRAGICALLY, for them, they have failed to take it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY!\u201d the president announced. \u201cThis will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump said Iran is \u201changing by a thread\u201d as a result of US military strikes that have devastated the country\u2019s navy, air force and military infrastructure\u00a0 \u2014 and declared that \u201cANY 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, exchange houses, ship registries, front companies \u2014 It all needs to stop NOW. You know who you are,\u201d the president warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump likened the operation to \u201can ECONOMIC D-DAY\u201d that will require \u201cour Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s declaration comes after the 60-day period for negotiations to end the war \u2013 established under an interim peace deal signed in June \u2013 expired Monday without a breakthrough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the president indicated that no further talks with the regime are planned and the US Naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz \u201cremains in full force and effect.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide,\u201d Trump\u2019s post continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
