Iran warns US allies: 'Do not join' Trump's economic war

Iran has warned countries against joining the United States' economic campaign against it, threatening confrontation. According to Mohsen Rezai, head of Iran's supreme national security council, any country participating in the imposition of economic restrictions against Iran will face consequences.

The US, under President Donald Trump, has pledged to increase economic pressure on Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said Washington will introduce measures against Tehran that have "never been seen" as early as next week. The US, United Nations, and European Union have applied sanctions, trade embargoes, and asset freezes against Iran since the late 1970s.

Oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill, with Tehran threatening to strike unauthorised tankers attempting passage. Iran has also warned that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed, according to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News.
