Iran threatens countries joining U.S. economic sanctions

Iran has issued a stern warning, vowing to consider any nation that joins the United States in its economic sanctions as an enemy. Mohsen Resai, head of Iran's National Security Council, stated that countries aligning with the U.S. "economic war" would face Iran's hostility.

“

Anyone who joins the 'economic war' led by the U.S. will be considered an 'enemy' by Iran.

This declaration follows recent aggressive rhetoric from U.S. President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, Trump announced a sweeping "economic war" against Iran, citing a lack of progress in negotiations. He characterized the impending measures as being of "historic" scale and the "most devastating economic operation" in history.

Trump's threat extended beyond Iran's borders. He explicitly warned that any country supporting Iran or conducting business with it would face "enormous" retaliatory sanctions. The U.S. president even likened the planned economic actions against Iran to the "economic D-Day," referencing the pivotal Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II.

“

We will not make any concessions. We will not negotiate. We will not accept any of their demands.

The escalating economic confrontation signals a significant increase in tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with the potential for widespread global economic repercussions.

“

We will impose sanctions of an unprecedented level.
