President Trump has issued a warning to countries that provide support to Iran, threatening them with severe economic consequences. He has referred to this as "economic D-day." Any country that offers a lifeline to Iran will face repercussions, according to Trump.
Iran's foreign minister has responded by claiming that Trump's threat is a diversionary tactic. The minister suggests that the US is attempting to shift focus away from its own economic issues, including rising debt and interest rates.
Further details on the situation are available from the source, but it is clear that tensions between the US and Iran remain high, with economic pressure being a key point of contention.
