Iran Warns Any Country Supporting US Sanctions Considered Enemy
Iran yesterday warned countries against participating in the United States’ “economic war” against the Islamic republic, saying they would be considered enemies. Washington has pushed its allies to jump aboard
Iran issued a stern warning to any nation supporting US sanctions, branding them as enemies. Washington has enlisted allies to join its campaign to isolate Iran's economy under the Trump administration's six-month-old war effort. Mohsen Rezai, leader of Iran's supreme national security council, declared via state television that involvement in the US-imposed economic restrictions would be seen as an act of hostility.
He threatened to "harm" the interests of countries that failed to distance themselves from the United States. Rezai also noted that Iran had not yet targeted American economic interests, only military bases, but warned that if the US proceeded with economic sanctions, it would strike targets such as oil and economic companies across Iran and other regions.
The US has urged other nations, including China, to join in its efforts to isolate Iran's economy, though Beijing has dismissed the initiative, stating that sanctions would not resolve the Middle East conflict. The United Arab Emirates, a major trading partner for Iran, announced on Tuesday that it would suspend all trade and financial transactions with Tehran until further notice.
