Iran: 'Countries joining US economic sanctions are our enemies'

Iran has issued a stern warning, declaring that any nation that aligns with the United States in implementing economic sanctions will be regarded as an enemy. The declaration signals a hardening stance against international economic pressure.

Mohsen Rezaei, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), explicitly stated Iran's position during a broadcast on state television. "We declare to all countries: do not join the 'economic war' waged by the United States," Rezaei said. He further emphasized, "Any country that participates in imposing economic sanctions will be considered an enemy."

This strong rhetoric underscores the escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S., particularly concerning the economic sanctions imposed by Washington. Iran views these sanctions as a form of economic warfare and is signaling its intent to retaliate against any state that supports or enforces them.
