mniraq - The US Treasury Department announced the implementation of the largest financial blockade of its kind against Iran, aiming to sever all economic lifelines sustaining the Iranian regime. Washington warned that any nation providing financial cooperation to Tehran will face isolation and severe consequences, vowing a swift and decisive response from the US administration to any military action targeting American forces or Gulf states. Conversely, Iranian authorities warned that continued economic escalation would prompt Tehran to impose a comprehensive blockade preventing the transit of oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, considering any international participation in this escalation a direct hostile act against the Iranian people.
