Trump says Iran is collapsing as US Treasury prepares wider sanctions

WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Iran is "completely collapsing" in a brief post on his social media account, declaring the country in full decline. According to Reuters, the US Treasury Department plans to expand its sanctions framework to target countries and entities that maintain commercial ties with Tehran. Officials said the measures would impose secondary sanctions on any transactions tied to Iran's operations across multiple sectors. Treasury officials said the expanded penalties are intended to deepen Iran's isolation from international trade and restrict access to key revenue streams. The decision is also expected to carry binding consequences for third-party countries and companies doing business with Iran. No further details on the timing or scope of the new sanctions were immediately available.
