Trump threatens economic punishment on ‘any country’ helping Iran
Former US President Donald Trump has threatened severe economic sanctions against any nation assisting Iran, escalating his 'maximum pressure' campaign as the Iran-Israel conflict approaches its sixth month. This unilateral coercive measure targets Iran's oil exports and financial networks, bypassing UN Security Council consensus. For competitive exams, this highlights evolving US foreign policy, sanctions regimes under IEEPA, and implications for global energy security and India's strategic autonomy in West Asia.
