‘We’re Strangling Their Economy’: Leavitt Details Ongoing Pressure on Iran

‘We’re Strangling Their Economy’: Leavitt Details Ongoing Pressure on Iran Karoline Leavitt says the Trump administration’s pressure campaign on Iran is still in full force — and she did not soften the language. During her remarks, Leavitt said “Operation Economic Fury continues” and claimed the US is “completely strangling” Iran’s economy through a blockade. She said Iran is losing $500 million a day, that Karg Island is full, and that the country is having trouble moving oil and paying its own people. Leavitt framed all of it as the direct result of economic leverage imposed by President Donald Trump, adding that he is satisfied with that pressure as the administration waits to see how Iran responds. She also pushed back on reports suggesting the president had set a firm deadline for an Iranian proposal. Instead, Leavitt said the timeline will be dictated by the commander in chief. #KarolineLeavitt #IranNews #TrumpAdministration #IranEconomy #WhiteHouse #USIran #EconomicSanctions #OilMarket #MiddleEastPolitics #PoliticalNews
