  "summary": "Iran has vowed to retaliate against countries that cooperate with fresh US sanctions. The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, has announced that the sanctions will be \"the single greatest financial offensive ever marshalled against an adversary\". In response, Iran has threatened to shut down all oil exports from the Gulf \"if the economic war continues\".\n\nThe United Arab Emirates, Iran's biggest trading partner in the Middle East, has announced it is ending all trade with Iran, a move Tehran believes was coordinated between Washington and Dubai. India's stock market fell on Monday, tracking subdued global markets, as investors awaited details of the US sanctions. Global stocks slipped on Monday and oil prices eased to $93 per barrel.\n\nAccording to The Guardian, Iran views the economic threats as a test of US rhetoric, particularly from nations such as India, China and Russia. Tehran considers any support for the measures an \"act of war\". The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for most of the past six months, causing Brent crude to trade just below $90 a barrel.",
