Trump announces ‘most crushing economic operation ever’ against Iran

BREAKING: Trump announces the 'most crushing economic operation ever' against Iran, threatening 'tremendous' consequences for any country that helps Tehran after the 60-day ceasefire expired.

The most crushing economic operation ever. That's Donald Trump's promise for Iran, announced tonight after the sixty day ceasefire ran out.

He was blunt about it, and you can see him here, warning of tremendous consequences for any country that helps Tehran. Not just sanctions on Iran itself, a threat aimed at everyone who trades with it. That's the part that widens this. Buy Iranian oil, move Iranian money, and you're on the list too.

Tehran hasn't answered yet. But the ceasefire that held things together for two months is now officially dead, and the pressure campaign that replaces it starts with a superlative and no ceiling. China and India, the biggest buyers of Iranian crude, just heard themselves described as potential targets.

A sixty day pause ended tonight, and what follows it was announced in one sentence from Washington.
