Trump claims Iran is in decline in the face of new economic sanctions
The President of the United States, 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 to implement a new and robust package of economic sanctions against Tehran.
Through his Truth Social platform, the president highlighted the increase in diplomatic and financial pressure. Washington’s main objective is to force an end to a conflict that is approaching six months in duration, as well as to guarantee the security and reopening of maritime transit in the Strait of Hormuz.
The financial offensive known as D-Day
United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the current strategy an economic “D-Day,” describing it as one of the most forceful financial operations directed against an adversary in recent history. According to the official, the administration is employing all its resources to choke off the Iranian regime’s sources of funding.
The restrictive measures contemplate direct actions in key sectors:
- Severe restrictions on international money transfers.
- Blocking of operations linked to the commercialization of Iranian oil.
- Formal warnings to third-party nations that provide strategic assistance to Tehran.
The Trump administration will use every tool available to increase economic pressure on Tehran and cut off the funding streams that sustain the Iranian regime.

Tehran’s response to growing pressure
For their part, the Iranian authorities have categorically rejected that the United States can unilaterally dictate the terms to end the conflict. In a statement, the Iranian government urged the international community to stay out of this pressure campaign, warning that any country that collaborates with the US measures will be labeled as a direct enemy.
The situation in the region remains in a state of high tension. The memorandum of understanding that previously served as a framework to contain the conflict has expired, and to date, no solid negotiations have been established that would allow for a diplomatic solution to the war that began on February 28th.
