WARNING: The global economy is teetering on the brink of catastrophic collapse as President Trump escalates economic warfare against Iran with devastating secondary tariffs—effectively declaring a trade embargo against China, the world’s largest buyer of Iranian oil.
This is economic warfare on a scale never before seen, and the consequences will be apocalyptic for global supply chains, energy markets, and the daily lives of average Americans.
If Iran retaliates by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, we could see oil prices explode to $200 – $300 per barrel, triggering hyperinflation, food shortages, and industrial paralysis across Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, Trump’s total trade embargo on China will empty store shelves across America, cripple U.S. manufacturing, and leave Americans scrambling for basic necessities—from medicine to car parts.
This is not a drill. This is economic doomsday unfolding in real time. And Trump just announced it through his official social media account, saying exactly this:
ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form. Thank you for your attention to this matter, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
President Trump has just declared economic war on China by imposing secondary sanctions on any nation that buys oil from Iran. This means:
This move by Trump appears to be a deliberate economic siege designed to strangle Iran’s oil revenues—but the real target is China, which relies on discounted Iranian crude to fuel its industrial machine.
But the real danger is Iran’s retaliation—and the Strait of Hormuz is the ultimate choke point for the world’s economic activity.
Watch my full video analysis of this development here:
The Strait of Hormuz is the most critical energy artery on Earth:
If Iran blocks the strait, the consequences will be unimaginable:
Trump is risking all this (and more) but pushing Iran and China into this existential war for the future of economic dominance on planet Earth.
While the media focuses on Iran, the real economic apocalypse will come from Trump’s total trade embargo on China.
Here’s what happens when China is cut off:
The global economy is a house of cards, and Trump’s Iran oil embargo is pulling the rug on everyone.
It appears that Trump is working with globalists who are engineering this crisis to dismantle Western industry and usher in famine, chaos, and a “reset” event to assert totalitarian control while achieving the “Great Taking” of most assets.
Prepare NOW. Stockpile food, medicine, fuel, and barterable goods. Read my recent story on China-made goods to stockpile here:

The storm is coming. Stay vigilant. Stay informed. Stay prepared.
