+++ Iran-Krieg +++: Iran nennt Trumps „Wirtschaftskrieg“ völkerrechtswidrig

Iran's leadership believes the "economic war" announced by the United States against Iran constitutes a violation of international law. In a statement on X, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ismail Baghai, wrote that banks, companies, or airports falling under the exclusive jurisdiction of a country should not be forced by other states to "forego lawful trade with a third country."

In an attempt to further intensify economic pressure on Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened draconian sanctions on countries that continue to support Iran. Baghai declared 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" violate the United Nations Charter. Many of these cases fall under "Operation Epic Fury," the official name of the deployment. However, the Pentagon's Defense Casualty Analysis System added a new category named "Overseas Operations" to record injuries related to the recent attacks. The Pentagon and the Middle East Command (Centcom) have not disclosed many details on how the injuries occurred or the damage to U.S. military bases. U.S. officials stated that the majority of the injuries are traumatic brain injuries.
