US President Donald Trump has warned that any country that provides any kind of aid or business benefits to Iran will face 'severe' punishment. He made this warning in a post on his social media account Truth Social.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that 'the most severe economic campaign ever taken against any country' is being launched. In his words, this will be an unprecedented scale of economic warfare and an attempt to isolate Iran.

He also said that if any country's banks, businesses, airports or government agencies provide any kind of financial or economic assistance to Iran, that country will also face major economic consequences.

However, he did not say anything specific about what kind of action will be taken against any country.

He called this initiative an 'economic D-Day' and called on US allies to stand by Iran and take action against the country.

According to Trump, these historic steps will deal a major blow to Iran and its ability to carry out terrorist activities around the world.
