Iran on Thursday rejected President Donald Trump’s threat of economic pressure and isolation. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the approach would not change Iranian behavior and would only deepen hostility and lead to further failures.
Trump had warned of “crushing economic measures” and “Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale,” though he offered few details. In a social media post, Araghchi said the threats were an attempt to distract the U.S. public from domestic financial problems.

伊朗驳斥美国经济威胁，中东地区还有这些进展
伊朗周四驳回了美国总统特朗普关于施加经济压力和孤立的威胁。伊朗外长阿拉格齐表示，这种做法不会改变伊朗的立场，只会加深敌意，并带来更多失败。
特朗普此前威胁将对伊朗采取“毁灭性经济措施”，并实施“前所未有规模的经济战与孤立”，但并未提供太多细节。阿拉格齐在社交媒体上说，这些威胁是为了转移美国公众对国内财政问题的注意。
