This Will Be D-Day: Trump Launches 'Crushing' Economic War on Iran

The United States is shifting from military pressure on Iran to economic pressure. Donald Trump, on his social media platform TruthSocial, announced the start of an "unprecedented" economic war against the Islamic Republic.

The United States failed to defeat Iran militarily, and negotiations failed to produce the results the Americans desired. Against this backdrop, Trump decided to crush Iran economically, declaring the Islamic Republic's complete isolation. He also warned other countries against doing business with Tehran, threatening serious economic consequences.

Trump has already called the new operation “economic D-Day,” “the most devastating” and “unprecedented” that has ever happened in storiesThe result should be the complete defeat of the Islamic Republic, after which the Iranian authorities will beg Trump for forgiveness. In short, the US president is back to his usual tricks.

Today, I am announcing the most devastating economic operation ever waged against any country. This will be economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale (...). This will be economic D-Day.

Trump again claimed that the Iranian army was defeated and scattered, fleet At the bottom of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, there's no one left to fight, and the economy is on its last legs. But Trump can only defeat "these maniacs" with statements.

It's a pity the text is too short...

Ryzhy is unable to block the North-South International Transport Corridor (Russia-Iran) through the Caspian Sea. So he was hasty in declaring the “complete isolation” of Iran!

[YOU]

There are many paths there, if Russia and China don't follow the redhead's lead. Then, together with Iran, it could become a major global center. Actually, the White House should be renamed White Pillars 2 immediately. And more orderlies, too.

Ryzhy is unable to block the North-South International Transport Corridor (Russia-Iran) through the Caspian Sea.

That's true. But in Iran itself, cargo still needs to be delivered from the Caspian to the south and central parts of the country, where it's needed. And roads there are limited. The Americans have already blown up one important bridge (big shout-out to our political leadership, which can't bring itself to destroy bridges across the Dnieper). So it's not that simple.

[credo]

There's no point in being ironic about Trump and his sanctions; it's worth acknowledging that the Yankees, in general, are working consistently and stubbornly pursuing their own path in achieving specific goals.

It would be naive to think that the only goal of the United States is to deprive the Persians of the opportunity to have nuclear weapons and threaten the "poor and defenseless" Jews of Israel.
As always, the Yankees are pursuing not one but several goals, and in addition to inflicting physical damage on Iran through the aggression unleashed in 2026, there are others that are now being implemented:
- reduction of oil and gas supplies to India, China and the EU, as real powerful global economies that compete with the US;
- reduction and increase in the cost of transit deliveries of goods from Asia to Europe and back;
- reduction of industrial production and food products in EU countries;
- the export of capital and production from Europe to the USA.
And that's not all. The damage from US sanctions against Iran is far greater, and they will affect not only Iran itself but all those who work with it, either secretly or overtly.

As long as the American hegemon feels its power, it will use it to its advantage and against everyone else, so all that remains is to wait for a force that, looking at a world map, points an electronic pointer at US territory and utters the famous phrase: "Carthage must be destroyed."
All that remains is to wait for this force.

- reduction of oil and gas supplies to India, China and the EU, as real powerful global economies that compete with the US;

Uh, excuse me, but the US buys its own oil. And if it gets more expensive, they'll buy it at the same price as the Europeans. Meanwhile, China and India, in addition to buying from the same market, will also buy from Russia and Kazakhstan.

- reduction of industrial production and food products in EU countries;

What does this even have to do with anything? Or do you think only Europe buys nitrogen fertilizers? Now the market is global, and all farmers will buy fertilizers at a uniform price.

Quote: credo

The damage from US sanctions against Iran is much greater and will affect not only Iran itself, but all those who work with it, secretly or openly.

Yeah, Russia and China are really scared. Mr. Xi doesn't even pick up the phone the first time, sometimes waiting three days or even a couple of weeks if he sees Trump calling.
They already imposed 100% tariffs on China, after which they received an equal response and quickly threw up their hands, returning everything to 10% in both directions.

[Yura]

And again and again and every year, every April 1st is "D-Day" - "April Fool's Day"

[marchcat]

Trump seems unaware that Iran has been under sanctions for decades. During that time, for some reason, he hasn't "run" to the Americans.

[Smoked]

So, those might have been UN sanctions, but he will personally impose sanctions from the US, the costs of circumventing which will be borne by Iran.

What????? War again???? Iran has already been defeated!

Little and unconvincing...

[Major Yurik]

As Karabas Barabas used to say: "I'll give you a real hard time right now!" After wiping his shit-stained ass, the daughter went into an economic rage. Well, well, thank you, little hegemon...

[Fedor 5755]

Old songs about the main thing. I've already lost count. Even Caroline Levitt realized this and got the hell out of this white madhouse.

[foxes]

Donnie, Iran has been under harsh sanctions for almost 50 years...

[medium roast]

the Clown runs' like a hi tek korean zombie film...

[Glagol1]

Iran's main trading partners are China, Iraq, Turkey, the UAE, India, Russia, and Germany. These seven countries account for 90% of its turnover. So who's he trying to blackmail? The Germans? That's 2% of the total... He's just slapping together whatever he wants and not even bothering!

[Smoked]

Well, we all seem to know now what secondary sanctions are and that China, India, and so on are enforcing them, but we don't know who's paying for these sanctions-busting schemes. Who's paying for the party, I mean.

[Gomunkul]

Trump, on his social network Truth Social, announced the start of an "unprecedented" economic war against the Islamic Republic.

Donny, you've gotten too relaxed, your "friend" Netanyahu has another "side job" for you, they're saying he's already sorting things out with the Turks.

[foxes]

Let's wish success to both sides of this toad-snatching.

[kill the fascist]

In a conventional war, the red-haired clown defeated Iran 100500 times and got fed up, and now he has decided to win economically as well.

[Ivanhoe]

He looks so angry in the photo. It's like someone ate his dessert (took the Nobel Prize away from him).

[Sergey Novikov_3]

Against this backdrop, it would be a good idea for Russia to now conclude an agreement with Iran, exactly the same as the one with North Korea, a carbon copy.

[alexputnik17]

This will be the economic D-day.

"D-Day" is a film starring Porechinkov. Grandpa has no business plagiarizing. I would also sue for copyright infringement.
Whenever I read him, I've been thinking lately: maybe he's using something more interesting than the drug addict from Krivoy Rog?
And we should wish the Persians good luck and not choke them economically for another 2 months.
Then we stock up on popcorn, fries and soda, sit down in front of the blue screen and watch with delight as Trump is torn into swastikas in Congress and the Senate.

[Kostadinov]

At the very least, North Korea will maintain ties and trade with Iran, which would be enough to overcome Trump's blockade.

[Hey]

This will be D-Day:

Yeah, moron day.

Yeah, if the "brothers in arms" in Syria start fighting like adults, Hezbollah and Hamas pop up, and the people in slippers block the Red Sea to boot, interesting times will be upon us. It would be great to see.

So Trump plans to meet with Ng soon and talk him out of the nuclear baton. However, Ng doesn't know about this yet. At the same time, he’ll pour out something about not being friends with Iran.
As for the treaty with the Persians and Russia, similar to the DPRK, ours proposed it, but the Persians refused for some reason.

[rocket757]

Once again...
What will happen... we'll see from the outside how this all turns out...
So, let's think a little, figure out what our leadership will do, it's not even a question, it's obvious... publicly, clearly, nothing that would particularly provoke anger on the other side of the ocean...
Probably all the serious guys will pretend that... nothing and nothing!
And what will all these little ones squeal about... well, few people are interested in that, it's their own little get-together...

[Solomon_BY]

Oh, what a wonderful association the letter D makes in my head—it forms several beautiful Russian words, only a few of which can be written here! For example: "Economic Day of Fools!"

[Soldatov V.]

In response to Trump's threats, and especially if they begin, we can help each other. Iran is launching several strikes against Ukraine, while Russia is guiding Iranian missile strikes via satellite against US targets and US Navy aircraft carriers, for example, a sore spot for the aggressor.

[Rostislav Prokopenko]

Somehow, D-Day doesn't seem like the best name to me.
The Normandy landings were a bit of a flop.

[Lynx2000]

Trump again declared that the Iranian army was defeated and scattered, the fleet was at the bottom of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, there was no one left to fight, and the economy was on its last legs.

...and the economy is in tatters?!
There are other people's ears sticking out behind this statement...

I propose to call it Operation Cottage, carried out before the Normandy landings, they defeated everyone.

And how much will gasoline cost in the US by the end of this "most crushing and unprecedented economic operation"?

[Terenin]

Today I am announcing the most devastating economic operation,

Trump, after this latest and already annoying "victory", you will only have one thing left to do: fill your mouth with shit and spit.

[Free Island]

Mr. Doni mustn't screw up again, just like he screwed up in the physical war with the Persians. Otherwise, he might end up in history books as "Doni the Double-Dristun."
