As Trump administration readies economic warfare measures against Iran, top security official vows retaliation ‘in a seismic manner’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday is expected to announce the new measures after the U.S. vowed to impose an “unprecedented” level of economic warfare and isolation.
The new head of Iran's top security body, Mohsen Rezaei, warned on Sunday that any country supporting U.S. economic measures against Iran would be considered an "act of war." This comes as the United States prepares to impose unprecedented economic sanctions on Iran. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian defended a memorandum of understanding with the United States, stating it is the best option out of the current stalemate.
