Iran warns of a harsh response as US announces new sanctions
- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that the country would respond harshly to expanded U.S. sanctions.
- The U.S. sanctions include measures against countries perceived as cooperating with Washington.
- Iran's top security official warned that support for the sanctions would be seen as an 'act of war.'
Iran warned that new U.S. sanctions on Tehran announced Monday would not bring peace to the region. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that Tehran would respond harshly to the expanded sanctions, which include measures against countries it sees as cooperating with Washington. Additionally, the new head of Iran’s top security body stated that any support for the sanctions would be considered an 'act of war.' The expanded sanctions follow weeks of impasse, and the U.S. has not managed to dislodge Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil trade.
伊朗警告将对美国宣布的新制裁作出强烈回应
伊朗警告称，美国周一宣布的新制裁不会给该地区带来和平。外交部发言人强调，伊朗将对扩大的制裁作出强烈回应，这些制裁包括针对被视为与华盛顿合作的国家的措施。此外，伊朗最高安全机构的新负责人表示，任何对制裁的支持都将被视为'战争行为'。扩大的制裁是在数周僵局后出台的，而美国未能撼动伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的控制，这一海峡是全球石油贸易的重要通道。
