Trump promised "D-Day for economics" for Iran. But so far, measures have been trickling in

CNN Portugal5 September 2026 at 09:45

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, promised a "D-Day for economics" against Iran, suggesting a comprehensive and decisive offensive. However, the measures implemented by the Trump administration have been coming gradually over almost two weeks since the initial announcement, rather than a single, massive action.

According to the article, the approach adopted has been different from what was initially announced. The sanctions and other economic measures against Iran have been implemented progressively, which contrasts with the expectation created by Trump's rhetoric.

Experts and diplomats have expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the measures adopted by the Trump administration. The gradual implementation of sanctions and economic restrictions raises questions about the real impact these measures may have on the Iranian economy.

The article does not provide specific details about which measures were implemented nor about official reactions from Iran, focusing mainly on the discrepancy between the initial "D-Day" promise and the reality of a strategy implemented in a piecemeal fashion.

Azores: Bishop of Angra rejects "isolation" and calls for solidarity between islands

The bishop of Angra, D. Armando Esteves Domingues, participated in the Thanksgiving Eucharist for the 50 years of Azores Autonomy, at the Matriz Church in Horta, where he called for governance based on co-responsibility and solidarity between islands. Using the metaphor of the miraculous catch of fish, the prelate warned of the dangers of territorial individualism and argued that autonomy is not built in isolation, but in the interdependence between the various territories of the archipelago. In the homily, which evoked the figure of St. Gregory the Great and the encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas' by Leo XIV, the bishop emphasized that public decisions must prioritize the most vulnerable and that the future of the region depends on the eradication of poverty and social exclusion.
