Iran War: Iran – Will it withstand US sanctions
Iran rejects US information about the Strait of Hormuz being opened +++ Iranian President calls for negotiations with the US +++ Iranian Foreign Minister: Diplomacy could get back on track +++ The Newsblog.
Iran's security chief Mohsen Resai denies reports of a planned assassination of US President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, calling them a lie in an interview with Al-Manar TV. The US Secret Service had said it was aware of a video from Iranian state TV about a possible attack on Barron Trump. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced new sanctions aimed at economically isolating Iran, warning that countries trading with Iran would face the full force of US power.
The goal is to cut off all of Iran's revenue sources, though Bessent declined to comment directly on China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.
