Episode Details

Trump’s new strategy to crush Iran economically is hitting hard—calling it “Operation Economic Fury,” he’s leveraging months of bombing and soaring inflation (reportedly 300%) to force Tehran’s hand, demanding compensation in peace talks just as Iran’s economy teeters. With U.S. weapons running low and diplomacy stalled, Trump insists sanctions are now the ultimate weapon, even threatening financial penalties on nations aiding Iran. Oil prices spiked as markets feared tighter Strait of Hormuz chokeholds, while Iran warns that sanctions could lead to a more humiliating exit than diplomacy ever would. Though experts question the speed of sanctions’ impact, Trump argues this is the first time in 50 years his administration is truly stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions—while U.S. oil exports plummet and Iran’s economy shrinks under pressure.
