Iran says US economic war will fail, claims key partners refuse to bow to Trump?

Iran has dismissed the latest U.S. sanctions threats, with parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf saying Tehran’s trading partners will not abandon Iran despite pressure from Washington. Iranian spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani acknowledged that the economic pressure was creating difficulties but said President Masoud Pezeshkian’s government would respond with “wisdom and resolve.” The statements highlight the growing economic confrontation between the U.S. and Iran, with China and other trade partners remaining central to Tehran’s strategy.
