Iran Denounces US Sanctions as 'Economic Terrorism' in UN Letter

Iran has formally condemned the latest US sanctions as an act of state-sponsored economic terrorism, detailing its grievances in a letter to the United Nations. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi asserted that the sanctions are designed to terminate Iran's legitimate economic relationships with other nations, particularly after military objectives failed.

the US attempts to end Iran's legitimate economic relations with other states after failing to achieve its goals through war.

The letter, addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the UN Security Council, and member states, highlights the US Treasury Secretary's recent warning that entities trading with Iran would face "the full force of US power." Iran argues these measures deliberately target its civilian population by restricting access to essential goods like food and medicine.

“

whoever does business with Iran will feel the full force of US power.

Tehran is calling on the international community to reject and refuse to implement these "unilateral coercive measures and secondary sanctions." Iran insists that the US should cease pressuring sovereign nations to alter their lawful trade relations. China has previously criticized the threatened sanctions, warning that economic warfare exacerbates conflicts and disrupts the global financial order.

the US sanctions deliberately harm the civilian population, as access to food, medicine, and other goods is to be restricted.
