BREAKING: Trump Urges World Leaders to Cut Ties With Iran

U.S. Treasury Secretary says President Donald Trump is personally reaching out to world leaders and urging them to sever economic and diplomatic cooperation with Iran.



The Treasury Secretary said Trump has been making phone calls to leaders around the world, specifically asking them to stop their relations and cooperation with the Iranian government.



The reported diplomatic push comes as Washington seeks to increase international pressure on Tehran and isolate Iran economically and politically.



According to the Secretary, Trump is directly appealing to foreign governments to reduce or end their engagement with Iran, signaling a broader U.S. effort to build international support for tougher measures against Tehran.



The move could put additional pressure on countries that maintain significant trade, energy, financial or diplomatic ties with Iran, particularly as Washington considers further measures against the Iranian government.



The comments indicate that Trump is seeking a coordinated international response toward Iran rather than relying solely on unilateral U.S. action.
