Iran rejected US threats on Sunday to impose new economic sanctions, characterizing the measures as a reflection of Washington's 'desperation' and warning that any nation participating in restrictions against Tehran could be considered an 'enemy.' The statement comes as the United States prepares to announce on Monday what it described as the harshest sanctions package in history, coinciding with an upcoming visit to Tehran by Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir as part of mediation efforts to end the conflict. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the impending US measures are doomed to failure, arguing that Washington's shift from military operations to sanctions demonstrates a 'state of desperation.' He affirmed that Tehran has never surrendered to blockades or combined military and economic pressure. Araghchi added that the United States must engage Iran with 'respect' to reach a resolution built on 'fairness and honor,' responding to threats from US President Donald Trump of economic consequences for any nation providing Iran with 'any form of vital support.' Tehran Warns Nations Cooperating with Washington Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, declared that any country participating in economic restrictions against Iran will be treated as an 'enemy,' urging nations worldwide not to join what he termed Washington’s 'economic war'. Rezaei warned that Iran could target US economic interests if Washington proceeds with the new sanctions, noting that his country has so far restricted its strikes strictly to US military bases.
