Trump Threatens 'Tremendous Economic Consequences' on Countries Supporting Iran
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the United States would inflict "TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences" on any nation that supports or does business with Iran.
The former president wrote in all caps that he was launching "the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country," referencing an earlier "Operation Economic Fury" that targeted foreign banks and firms doing business with Tehran.
Trump’s warning came after the 60‑day ceasefire with Iran expired on Monday, leaving the U.S. and Israel on the brink of a potential conflict without a clear diplomatic exit.
He highlighted a range of illicit activities, from oil smuggling and swap lines to ship registries and front companies, demanding an immediate halt.
The Treasury Secretary has already pledged an unprecedented level of economic isolation on Iran, and the White House has yet to clarify the specific penalties for states that violate the threat.
The BBC has requested comments from the White House and Treasury department as the situation evolves.
