Iran warns US sanctions backers of ‘act of war’

Dubai: Iran's top security official has issued a dire warning, stating that any nation supporting the US in imposing new economic measures against Iran would be considered an act of war. This comes as President Masoud Pezeshkian recently defended a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries, claiming it is the best way to move beyond the current state of neither war nor peace.

Iran's President reiterated that Tehran cannot attract investment nearly six months after the war began, with no provisions in the agreement resembling capitulation. Meanwhile, Pakistan's army chief is expected to visit Iran in an effort to de-escalate tensions and urge both nations to return to negotiations.
