WASHINGTON, D.C. — As President Donald J. Trump’s administration carries out Operation Economic Outcast, an unprecedented economic pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Independent Women applauds the decisive action to cut off funding to our adversaries and restore American resolve.
Patrice Onwuka, vice president for economic policy and director of Independent Women’s Center for Economic Opportunity, and Dr. Meaghan Mobbs, director of Independent Women’s Center for American Safety and Security, said:
“We applaud President Donald Trump and Secretary Scott Bessent for taking bold new action against Iran by calling for all our allies to stand with us against this regime’s tyranny. And our adversaries, particularly China, should understand that there will be a price for providing Iran an economic lifeline while it threatens Americans and destabilizes the world. The world can no longer sit on the sidelines; silence is tacit approval.
“Iran’s economy is in shambles, and by icing it out of the global economy, these economic sanctions could deliver the crushing blow that forces the regime to abandon its campaign of terror against the U.S. and allies. Although uncomfortable, Americans have shown resilience amid higher gas prices thanks to a growing economy spurred by deregulation, tax cuts, and new investments in America. Now is the time to finish the job!”
