Iran labels any nation joining US economic pressure as ‘enemy’

Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement declaring that any state that participates in what it termed the United States’ economic war against Tehran will be regarded as an enemy. The warning was delivered amid ongoing U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s oil exports and financial transactions. Tehran has repeatedly accused Washington of using economic tools to pressure its nuclear and regional policies. No official response from the United States has been reported so far, and the statement did not name specific countries that might join the alleged campaign. The remark underscores the heightened diplomatic tension between Iran and nations that cooperate with U.S. sanctions enforcement.
