On August 24, Iran rejected Washington's statement about a large-scale economic pressure campaign, saying that this move refuted the US's claims that it had neutralized Tehran's military and nuclear capabilities.
Your stories are not consistent: you say Iran's military power has been'demolished', 100% of military plants have been'destroyed' and the nuclear program has been'buried'," Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi wrote on social network X.
He added, "still needs the'largest financial campaign in history' and mobilizes'all institutions and powers' of the United States. Is this a victory or an admission of failure for the United States?
Previously, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote in the Financial Times that Washington is launching "the largest single financial offensive ever mobilized against an opponent", calling it "Economic Day D".
On social network X, Mr. Bessent said this measure was taken after the US "dismantled Iran's military capabilities, destroyed nearly 100% of military facilities and buried its nuclear program". He expected to explain in detail the new sanctions against Iran.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry warned countries not to participate in the US economic campaign. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said that participation "will certainly have its own consequences".
