Iran vows 'devastating' response as US threatens toughest ever economic hit
Tehran says the sanctions will not force concessions as oil shipments to China slow and Strait of Hormuz traffic falls, Reuters data showed.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a "most crushing economic operation" targeting Iran, threatening "tremendous" consequences for any country providing a "lifeline" to the Islamic republic.
- Iran's foreign ministry condemned the US sanctions on Thursday, labeling the measures "economic terrorism" and "crimes against humanity" that target every Iranian citizen's human rights.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to impose "the toughest sanctions in history," while the US re-designated Lebanon's Hezbollah for serving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force.
- Oil prices rose to a three-week high on Thursday amid concerns the US-Iran war will disrupt supply, while China's embassy urged diplomatic resolution instead of sanctions.
- Bessent will share details on the new package at a press conference on Monday as the US-Iran war continues disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
