The United States' declaration of new economic sanctions on Iran is far more than continued unlawful "economic warfare" against a single country. It is an assertion of extraterritorial sovereignty over every independent Member State of the United Nations, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X, SİA informs.
According to him, the US policy of forcing third countries to cease trade and economic ties with Iran is contrary to international law.
"No State may lawfully compel foreign banks, enterprises, or airports - each subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of its own sovereign - to renounce lawful commerce with a third State. Such secondary sanctions find no foundation in international law... Economic coercion designed to force a sovereign State to alter its lawful policy choices constitutes an outright internationally wrongful act," he wrote.
Earlier, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that any business dealings with Iran would face severe pressure from the US government.
