Iran has issued a stern warning to nations aligning with the United States in its campaign of "economic warfare." Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, declared that any country participating in the US economic pressure against Iran will face reciprocal measures.

This declaration comes in direct response to threats made by US President Donald Trump, who previously vowed to unleash "economic warfare" on the Islamic Republic. The escalating tensions highlight the ongoing geopolitical friction between the two nations, with economic sanctions being a primary tool of pressure.
