  "account": "Iran accuses the United States of violating international law with its \"economic war\" against Tehran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ismail Baghai, stated in a post on X that countries should not be forced to abandon legitimate trade with a third country. In an attempt to intensify pressure on Iran economically, US President Donald Trump had threatened severe sanctions against nations supporting Iran. Baghai declared that coercing a sovereign state to alter its lawful political decisions constitutes a clear breach of international law. These \"secondary sanctions\" contravene the United Nations Charter. Many instances fall under \"Operation Epic Fury,\" the official name of the operation. However, the Pentagon added a new category called \"Overseas Operations\" for injuries in July. The Pentagon explained that this category was created because the \"Operation Epic Fury\" has ended and the military decided to record injuries related to recent attacks in the future. The Pentagon and the Middle East Command (Centcom) have not disclosed many details about how the injuries occurred or the damage to US military bases. US officials stated that most of the injuries are traumatic brain injuries.",
