Trump Announces "Crushing Economic Operation" Against Iran

📉 SANCTIONS — Trump shifts to economic war while Hormuz stays physically closed. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Crushing economic operation" after military stalemate signals Washington is repricing its strategy — military pressure hasn't forced Iran to negotiate, so third-country economic coercion becomes the new lever. The threat against trading partners targets China and India most directly. But Iran's hardliners already read Trump's pipeline comments as proof concessions aren't coming — more sanctions may accelerate widening, not capitulation.
