Trump Declares 'ECONOMIC D-DAY' on Iran, Threatening Sanctions on Any Country Doing Business With Tehran

Trump declared an "ECONOMIC D-DAY" against Iran on August 19, threatening secondary sanctions on any country doing business with Tehran. Secondary sanctions are punitive measures against third parties, not just the target state. The move came as US-Iran talks remain deadlocked over five months after "Operation Epic Fury" military strikes began on March 1. Foreign firms now face choosing between the US financial system and Iranian commerce.
