Donald Trump asserts that Iran is in full collapse in the face of new economic sanctions
The geopolitical landscape in the Middle East is tightening once again. United States President Donald Trump stated this Monday that the Iranian regime is going through a stage of total collapse. These statements come at a critical moment, as the U.S. administration finalizes the details of a new package of economic sanctions designed to pressure Tehran and seek a definitive end to the conflict, which is already nearing its six-month mark.
An unprecedented financial offensive
United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the current strategy as an economic “D-Day.” According to the official, this is one of the most aggressive financial operations ever implemented against an adversary, with the primary goal of suffocating the funding sources that sustain the Iranian government.
- Strict blockade on Iranian oil purchase operations.
- Severe restrictions on capital transfers.
- Direct warnings to third countries regarding potential retaliation if they collaborate with Iran’s economy.
The U.S. administration will use every tool at its disposal to maximize economic pressure and cut off the flow of resources that fuel the Tehran regime.

Tehran’s response to the pressure
For their part, the Iranian authorities have maintained a defiant stance, rejecting Washington’s attempts to impose unilateral conditions to end hostilities. Tehran has issued a clear warning to the international community: any nation that joins this economic offensive will be considered a direct enemy of the Islamic Republic.
The conflict, which began its most intense actions on February 28th, continues with no signs of a near diplomatic solution. Following the expiration of the memorandum of understanding that granted a temporary truce, the absence of solid negotiations maintains uncertainty regarding stability in the Strait of Hormuz and the future of the region.
