Trump Unveils New Iran Economic Offensive After 60-Day Deal Expires

Summary
August 19 marked Trump’s shift to what he called the “most crushing economic operation ever” against Iran, threatening any country that gives Tehran a financial lifeline.
The move followed the expiry of a 60-day memorandum of understanding with no replacement, reopening pressure after a ceasefire and blockade regime repeatedly frayed.
319 Iran-related Truth Social posts between February 28 and August 25 trace that arc from joint US-Israeli strikes and surrender demands to blockade enforcement, aborted attacks and renewed escalation.
Al Jazeera’s review found Iran appeared in one of every 13 Trump posts over the period, showing how the six-month conflict was publicly prosecuted, negotiated and revived through his own feed.
