Iran-Krieg: Iran warnt USA vor Wirtschaftskrieg – und droht Golfstaaten
Im Iran-Krieg wird aktuell nicht gekämpft. Washington will Teheran wirtschaftlich in die Knie zwingen. Der Iran gibt sich selbstbewusst – und droht den USA und ihren Verbündeten mit Konsequenzen.
Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States over its threatened economic war, while also threatening oil-rich neighboring countries. Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf posted a comic on X platform suggesting that harsher sanctions against Iran would affect the US like a boomerang. National Security Council chief Mohsen Resai further warned Gulf states not to join Washington, stating that anyone doing so would be considered an enemy.
Iran's threats came ahead of a press conference in Washington by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who plans to unveil "the toughest sanctions in history" against Iran. With the military clash phase diminishing, the US aims to economically cripple Tehran. President Donald Trump announced a "economic D-Day" for Iran on Wednesday, threatening draconian measures against its supporters.
Iran continues to block most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime chokepoint for oil, gas, and fertilizer exports from Persian Gulf states. This has implications for the global economy. Iranian authorities demand that ships use only a route designated by Iran along its coastline. The Iranian authority in charge of the vital chokepoint threatened confiscation of ships for any violations of the rules.
