Tehran Warns of Seismic Response to Countries Joining Sanctions

Iran has threatened to retaliate against any country that joins the US ’economic war’ against it, as diplomatic efforts to end the months-long war have stalled. The warning from Iran’s top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, came as the US plans to announce new sanctions on Monday that could further strain the struggling Iranian economy. Iran has attacked US military installations and civilian locations since the war began, and has imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, which has drastically decreased shipping through the region. This development was reported by Al Jazeera.
