Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, dismissed President Donald Trump's threat to wage "economic warfare" against Iran as a diversion from America's own economic issues. In a statement on X, Araghchi highlighted the unprecedented debt and soaring interest costs facing the United States. He warned that pursuing such a policy would only lead to further defeat and anger among Iranians.

Araghchi emphasized that U.S. economic terrorism poses a threat to the global economy and sovereignty worldwide. The U.S. president had earlier announced the launch of what he called the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country," warning that any nation aiding Iran would face "tremendous economic consequences." Araghchi labeled this "Economic D-Day" as a diversion from America's own economic challenges.
