    作者 Not A Charm: News

    President Trump announced an operation he is calling Economic D-Day against Iran, describing it as the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country. He warned that any nation providing a lifeline to the Iranian regime will face consequences of their own. The announcement came overnight with reports live from Tel Aviv on Fox News, while Trump posted to TrueSocial stating no one has given Iran a greater opportunity to make a deal than him. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi responded by calling the move a diversion from America's own crisis, citing UNPRECEDENTED DEBT AND SURGING INTEREST COSTS after the U.S. surpassed the $40T debt mark. Araghchi labeled the action U.S. economic terrorism threatening global economy and sovereignty worldwide. Regional intelligence sources indicate growing economic hardship in Iran, with inflation reported at 89 percent and food prices up 164 percent. Reports suggest a U.S. naval blockade has been extremely effective while vessels continue through a safe corridor to export oil from the Persian Gulf. The situation is shifting to economic warfare with uncertainty remaining on whether pressure will result in a deal or a return to combat operations.

THE IRANIANS HAVE RESPONDED TO THE PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS OVERNIGHT WITH IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYING THE SO-CALLED ECONOMIC D-DAY IS A DIVERSION FROM AMERICA'S OWN CRISIS, UNPRECEDENTED DEBT AND SURGING INTEREST COSTS. DOUBLING DOWN ON FAILED POLICIES WILL ONLY BRING FURTHER DEFEAT AND ENMITY OF IRANIANS. U.S. economic terrorism threatens global economy and sovereignty worldwide. Regional intelligence sources tell Fox News there are growing indications of economic hardship inside of Iran as a result of the U.S. naval blockade and economic isolation.
