Iran's leadership believes the US is waging an "economic war" against the country, according to the country's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ismail Baghai. Baghai asserts that national banks, companies, or airports should not be forced to abandon legitimate trade with a third country. The US under President Donald Trump threatened draconian penalties against nations supporting Iran.
Baghai argues that economic coercion aimed at forcing a sovereign state to change its legitimate political decisions constitutes a clear violation of international law. Such secondary sanctions contravene the United Nations Charter. Many cases fall under "Operation Epic Fury," the official name of the endeavor. However, in late July, the Pentagon added a new category to the Defense Casualty Analysis System: "Overseas Operations."
This new category, created because the Pentagon decided to record injuries related to recent attacks, has seen many US military personnel admitted with traumatic brain injuries. Pentagon and Centcom officials have provided few details on how the injuries occurred or the damage inflicted on US military bases.
