“State terrorism”: Iran condemns new US economic measures

Iran vehemently denounced the United States' recent economic measures, branding Washington's sanctions policy as "state terrorism." The Iranian Foreign Ministry, as reported by Reuters, stated that the US economic campaign serves as a "ruthless tool" intended to cause suffering among the Iranian populace. The ministry further described the US sanctions as an international crime and a crime against humanity, urging the global community to uphold international law.

Iran encouraged nations to abstain from implementing the US sanctions, arguing that such participation would equate to condoning an unlawful will imposed by one state on others. The Iranian government affirmed its resolve to employ all resources to protect the country from the perceived US-Israeli military and economic assault.
