Tehran Dismisses Fresh US Economic Measures as 'Unjust'
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf on Friday called the Trump administration's new sanctions against Tehran 'unjust' and urged economic representatives to plan around them. The sanctions, announced Wednesday, are part of a broader US pressure campaign that includes a naval blockade, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Iran's foreign ministry separately described the measures as 'economic terrorism' and vowed they would not weaken the nation's resolve.
