Iran Pledges Resistance to US Sanctions Amid Ongoing Conflict
The Iranian government issued a formal statement declaring its intent to "stand firm" against what it termed "unjust" United States sanctions. Tehran emphasized a dual strategy of defense and diplomacy to protect its national interests. This comes amid a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz and heightened military tensions with the U.S. and Israel, following previous strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and shipping assets.
