Trump Demands Total Economic Isolation of Iran at UN, Ties Relief to Nuclear and Terror Concessions

At the UN, President Trump called for 'total economic isolation' of Iran, conditioning any easing of pressure on Tehran abandoning nuclear ambitions and ending support for terrorism. This escalates US maximum-pressure rhetoric, though it remains unclear if concrete new sanctions or enforcement mechanisms will follow. The demand signals a hardening US posture that could raise Gulf tensions and oil market risk premia.
