Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has stated that the United States is not in a strong enough economic position to continue imposing further restrictions on its relations with other nations. This comes after the US Treasury announced unprecedented sanctions on Iran, which has prompted concerns from Iran's trading partners.
Ghalibaf's social media post on X highlights that the trading partners have made it clear that they do not consider these statements applicable anywhere. The situation has escalated as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has threatened countries facilitating Iranian money laundering with removal from the US dollar, claiming that any economic engagement with Iran would expose those involved to the full extent of American power.
Ghalibaf emphasized that the American counterparts do not believe in their own statements and assert that the US is not in an economic position to impose more restrictions on other countries.
