Iran has warned countries against participating in the United States’ “economic war” against the Islamic republic, saying they would be considered enemies.
Washington has pushed its allies to jump aboard Donald Trump’s new campaign to isolate the Iranian economy, as the U.S. President’s unpopular war drags toward the six-month mark.
“We declare to all countries... do not join the economic war waged by the United States,” said Mohsen Rezai, the head of Iran’s supreme national security council, on state television.
