Tehran condemns US sanctions as crime
The United States has imposed a comprehensive package of sanctions on Iran, describing it as "economic terrorism and a crime against humanity." These sanctions come amid increased American pressure on Tehran, reflecting the ongoing conflict between the two sides spanning decades, and coinciding with the anniversary of the 1953 Iranian coup, orchestrated by the United States and Britain. Iran has affirmed that these sanctions target its human rights and that the Iranian people are determined to maintain their independence and sovereignty despite American and Israeli attempts to subjugate them. The US Secretary of the Treasury announced new measures to be announced on Monday, aimed at applying "maximum economic pressure" on Iran, with no plans to resume military operations. The sanctions form part of the Trump administration's policy of increasing Iran's economic isolation, potentially opening the door for negotiations, while warning of broad economic measures if Iran continues to support activities deemed threatening to regional security.
