Iran has prepared measures to counter the effects of intensified US economic pressure and is ready to respond to various forms of “hostile action,” Revolutionary Guard spokesman Hossein Mohebi said.

Mohebi’s remarks came in response to US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a new economic campaign against Iran.

“Economic warfare is one of the enemy’s tactics, and we have scenarios to counter the negative effects of this war,” Mohebi said, arguing that Washington has pursued economic pressure against Iran for decades.

The Revolutionary Guard spokesman maintained that Iran continues to conduct economic relations with other countries and said Tehran was not concerned about the potential consequences of the latest US measures.
