Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Friday that Iran must plan to overcome what he called 'unjust sanctions.' His remarks came after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced what he described as the harshest sanctions ever imposed on Iran. US Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that economic and military pressure on Iran has begun shifting its calculations regarding the deal Washington is seeking with Tehran, affirming the US will keep up economic pressure to achieve its goals. Vance said the US has dismantled Iran's conventional military capabilities and put heavy pressure on its defense industry, adding that recent weeks have shown Iranians feeling the weight of that pressure far more than Americans have. US President Donald Trump threatened to hit 'any country' that helps or trades with Iran with severe economic consequences, in a move reflecting escalating US economic pressure on the Islamic Republic following months of war. Trump wrote on Truth Social: 'I am announcing that any country that allows its financial institutions, companies, airports, or government bodies to offer any kind of lifeline to Iran will face severe economic consequences.'
