"Entering Endgame": US Warns Iran Of 'Economic D-Day', Tehran's 'Oil' Response
The United States has also warned of "tremendous economic consequences" for Tehran's business partners to ratchet up economic pressure that could push Iran back to the negotiating table.
Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei has threatened to cease all oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and other parts of the Persian Gulf if the United States persists with its economic war against Iran. Rezaei stated that any country supporting or participating in the US economic campaign will be considered an act of war by Iran.
This warning comes as tensions escalate between Tehran and Washington over US plans to impose further economic sanctions on Iran. Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, responded to Trump's threat of sanctions by mocking the US with a sarcastic take on the futility of using short-term state interventions to address deep financial strain.
In a post on X, Ghalibaf shared a comic strip illustrating the Iran boomerang, mocking the perceived backfiring effects of US pressure sanctions. IRGC Spokesperson Sardar Mohebi suggested that Washington's heavy reliance on economic warfare is a confession of the US military defeat on the battlefield.
