Tehran: Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, has criticized the United States' continued pressure on Iran, describing it as an 'economic war' following the failure of US military strategies.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Gharibabadi expressed his views on social media, stating that the US military efforts yielded no success and that Washington is now labeling its next unsuccessful strategy as an 'economic war.' He attributed these actions to what he perceives as Washington's frequent miscalculations, leading to recurring failures that the US attempts to overshadow with subsequent strategies.

Gharibabadi highlighted that US officials portray Iran as being on the brink of collapse while simultaneously seeking support from their allies. He pointed to recent statements by former President Donald Trump, who announced a significant economic operation against Iran and issued warnings to those aiding Iran, as evidence of this ongoing pattern.

The Deputy Foreign Minister's remarks underscore the tensions between the two nations, with economic measures now at the forefront of the US strategy against Iran, following what he describes as military failures.
