Milan, 20 August (LaPresse) – “No one has offered the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity than mine to reach an agreement. Unfortunately for them, they failed to seize it. Therefore, today I am announcing the most devastating economic operation ever undertaken against a country! It will be an economic war and isolation on an unprecedented scale.” This was posted by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, on Truth Social. “Their navy has been wiped out, their air force is destroyed, their military factories are now in ruins, their currency is worthless and their country is hanging by a thread. Today I also announce that any country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports or government bodies to provide any kind of vital support to Iran will in turn face tremendous economic consequences,” he emphasised. “Oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, currency exchange agencies, shipping registries, front companies: all of this must cease immediately. You know full well who you are. This will be an economic ‘D-Day’, and we need all our allies to stand shoulder to shoulder with the United States of America to isolate and defeat the Iranian threat. These fanatics are on the ropes, and these historic measures will cripple them, preventing them from spreading terror across the world. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon,” he added
