A senior Iranian official responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's declaration of an "economic war" against Tehran, describing it as part of "failed policies." The official stated in a post on the "X" platform that "the so-called economic victory day
is merely an attempt to divert attention from the internal crises facing the United States, including unprecedented debts and increasing interest costs." He added that adherence to these ineffective policies will only lead to further defeats and alienate the Iranian
people. He warned that U.S. "economic terrorism" poses a threat to the global economy and sovereignty worldwide. The U.S. President had yesterday threatened severe economic consequences for any nation supporting Iran or offering it any form of assistance, declaring an
unprecedented economic war.
