Iran-Krieg: Iran warnt USA vor Bumerang-Effekt bei Wirtschaftskrieg
Die militärischen Kampfhandlungen im Iran-Krieg haben nachgelassen. Die USA wollen Teheran nun wirtschaftlich in die Knie zwingen. Der Iran warnt vor möglichen Konsequenzen.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf has cautioned the United States about a potential "bumper effect" from the harsh sanctions Washington plans to impose on the Islamic Republic. Ghalibaf shared a comic on the platform X suggesting the anticipated economic war would hit the US itself. US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday plans to significantly increase economic pressure on Iran, describing it as a "wirtschaftlicher D-Day."
Trump also threatened sanctions on those supporting Tehran. Details of his plans were not disclosed initially. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to inform about the plan during a press conference on Monday, mentioning "the harshest sanctions in history" that will be enforced. Despite sanctions evasion, Iran's economic situation remains challenging.
Iranian state media had remained silent after Trump's announcement. The US has sought to cut off all financial and economic ties with Iran for years, according to the Tasnim news agency. However, Iran has mastered the art of circumventing these restrictions and is now very adept at it. Despite the intricate system designed to evade sanctions, Iran's economic situation has been under severe pressure for years.
The population suffers from skyrocketing inflation. New head of the Iranian National Security Council, Mohsen Resai, threatened on Saturday neighboring oil-rich countries not to participate in an economic war against Iran. No oil would pass the Persian Gulf if they did, he said in state television.
