On 24 August 2024, the Trump administration started “Operation Economic Outcast” in order to totally isolate the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with any country that enables Iran’s economic survival in the global economy. This is not merely an economic onslaught against the Iranian regime and the people of Iran; it is an assault on the global energy economy, which is crucial for the survival of millions of people across the globe. It threatens countries that depend on Iran’s natural gas and oil or are otherwise connected to Iran. It also threatens to remove countries from the US dollar system if they facilitate or engage with Iran.
