The US administration under Donald Trump has escalated economic pressure on Iran by imposing a new, sweeping package of sanctions targeting individuals and financial networks linked to the Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah. As part of a strategy aimed at pushing the Iranian regime to the breaking point, the US Treasury Secretary issued a stern ultimatum to Washington’s allies and to China: they must choose between supporting the plan for economic isolation or facing the consequences, emphasizing the mantra, "You are either with us or against us."
In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the US measures, labeling them "economic terrorism" and "crimes against humanity" that target the entire Iranian people. Tehran asserted that these sanctions reflect Washington's inability to achieve its objectives and will not deter Iran from defending its sovereignty and national security.
