Iran Rejects Trump’s ‘Economic D-Day’ Threat: US Says Tehran’s Missile Capacity Is ‘Very Low’

Iran has rejected Donald Trump’s “Economic D-Day” threat as Washington steps up pressure on Tehran. Trump has also claimed that Iran’s ability to produce missiles and drones has fallen sharply, saying its weapons-building capacity is now “very low” compared with five months ago. The latest escalation comes as the US seeks to squeeze Iran’s economy while maintaining pressure over its nuclear programme and the strategic Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh questions over Tehran’s ability to withstand the pressure.
