Iran War: Iran: We've discovered a large natural gas field in the south of the country

Iran's leadership believes a US-announced "economic war" against the country would be a violation of international law. The US has threatened severe penalties for countries that continue to support Iran, prompting Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai to state that economic coercion aimed at forcing a sovereign state to change its lawful decisions is a clear breach of the law.

Baghai added that such "secondary sanctions" contravene the UN Charter. The US Pentagon has also updated its injury tracking system, introducing a new category called "Overseas Operations" for wounded personnel, following the end of "Operation Epic Fury". The majority of injuries reported are traumatic brain injuries.
