+++ Iran-Krieg +++: „Position der Stärke und Würde“: Irans Präsident wirbt für Beendigung des Kriegs – Kapitulation ausgeschlossen

Iranian President has been urging for an end to the conflict, insisting that a "position of strength and dignity" is what Iran seeks. The United States' announced "economic war" against Iran is considered a violation of international law by Tehran's leadership. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ismail Baghai, wrote on X that countries should not be compelled to halt "legitimate trade with a third state" when it comes to banks, companies or airports under a nation's sole jurisdiction.

The US president's threat of draconian penalties for those supporting Iran further escalates the economic pressure on Iran. Baghai emphasized that "economic coercion aimed at compelling a sovereign state to alter its lawful political decisions" constitutes a clear breach of international law. Such "secondary sanctions" contravene the United Nations Charter.

Many cases fall under "Operation Epic Fury," the official name of the operation. However, in late July, the Pentagon added a new category in the Defense Casualty Analysis System, named "Overseas Operations," to record injuries from recent attacks. The Pentagon and the Middle East Command (Centcom) have provided minimal details regarding how the injuries occurred or the damage caused to US military bases. US officials, however, confirmed that the majority of injuries are traumatic brain injuries.
