Trump Unleashes Economic 'D-Day' on Shadowy Iranian Regime
President Donald Trump announced an unprecedented economic operation against Iran on Wednesday, labeling it 'ECONOMIC D-DAY'. The move aims to crush Tehran's ability to finance international terrorism by targeting its shadow economy.
No one has given the Islamic Republic of Iran a greater opportunity to make a deal than me, Trump said in his statement. However, they have failed to take it, and therefore he is announcing historic measures that will completely wreck their ability to finance terrorism.
The operation targets the illicit web of global actors keeping Iran's regime on life support. According to reports, entities in China and Hong Kong serve as a primary center for buying discounted crude oil and routing illicit payments through front companies.
Tehran's economy is already in a catastrophic tailspin, with the Iranian rial having plummeted to 1,374,600 rials per US dollar. This represents a staggering loss of more than 99% of its purchasing power since 2006, when the exchange rate was 9,200 rials per dollar.
