Iran Urges Countries to Reject U.S. Sanctions, Warns of Defense Measures
Iran's Foreign Ministry urged all countries to avoid enforcing U.S. sanctions, labeling new American economic measures as illegal and a form of state terrorism that endangers millions of civilians. Tehran called on the international community to uphold the rule of law and stated it would use all means to defend itself against what it described as a combined U.S.-Israeli military and economic assault. The ministry emphasized that participating in these sanctions equates to complicity in imposing unlawful will on sovereign states.
