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.
