Trump's Economic Strategy Against Iran

President Trump gave the order for Treasury to exert a maximum

pressure campaign o- on Iran. I said at a speech at the

Economic Club of New York in, in March that I predicted

that the Iranian currency, uh, would collapse, that we would

see the economy collapse thanks to this maximum pressure.

So we have been softening the, uh, softening up the

economy and preparing the ground for what our great warriors

are doing right now. So the Iranian economy was vul-

vulnerable. Uh, we cut off the dollar supply

into Iran. All of their oil is sanctioned.

We've been able to keep the funds,

many of the funds out of Ir- out of Iran.

Uh, one of the largest banks collapsed in

December.

The central bank was forced to print a huge amount of money.

Uh, inflation ensued, and people took to the streets.

So there was an economic crash in Iran in

December, and now we have the opening to

go in, and the, uh, our military

is taking over from the sky and from the sea.
