U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to launch what he called the "most crushing economic operation ever" against Iran, warning that any country offering support to Tehran would face severe financial consequences.
Speaking at a White House meeting with technology leaders, Trump said he would target any nation that provided "any type of lifeline to Iran." His remarks signal a potential escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against the Iranian government, though he did not specify which countries or actions would trigger the new measures.
The president's statement comes amid ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program and regional activities. Trump did not provide further details on the scope or timing of the proposed economic operation.
