The leader of Iran claims that his country holds the upper hand in the battle

The leader made this comment following the release of a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which blamed the US for carrying out "economic terrorism" and "crimes against humanity." This report, according to media reports from Iran, indicated that those behind the sanctions need to face trial for their misconduct.

Criticism of the US Move for Sanctions Escalation

The matter took a turn for the worse when US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announced on Thursday that "Washington would attempt to 'collapse' the Iranian government through economic pressure nearly six months since the onset of the conflict." China responded rapidly to the development with a spokesperson from their foreign ministry named Lin Jian, stating that sanctions and pressure will not resolve anything. He asked everybody concerned to try to seek a diplomatic solution to the issue instead. The US has called on its allies, including China, to join hands with it to make life difficult for Iran.
