The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, in response to the latest round of economic pressures from the United States, has called on countries around the world to refrain from implementing Washington's unilateral sanctions against Iran.

In a statement issued on Friday, September 6, the ministry described the U.S. "economic expulsion operations" as "state terrorism" and claimed that the new sanctions from Washington are inconsistent with the UN Charter and principles of international law.

In this statement, the Islamic Republic accused the U.S. of pressuring other countries to sever economic ties with Iran by leveraging the role of the dollar in the international financial system. The Iranian Foreign Ministry considers this action a violation of the national sovereignty of countries and the principle of sovereign equality of states.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry also referenced UN General Assembly resolutions regarding the prohibition of interference in the internal affairs of countries and principles of friendly relations among states, stating that governments should not recognize the effects of U.S. unilateral sanctions or participate in their implementation.

In another part of this statement, Tehran regarded the new U.S. sanctions as a continuation of the "economic war" against the Islamic Republic, claiming that these actions are aimed at imposing pressure and economic harm on the people of Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also criticized the UN and member countries for what it called "tolerance" towards the actions of the U.S. and Israel.

This stance came after the U.S. announced on Monday, September 2, the launch of a new campaign titled "economic expulsion operations" against the Islamic Republic. The stated goal of this campaign is to intensify pressure on Iran's economic relations with other countries through threats of secondary sanctions and restrictions on access to the U.S. financial system.

Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, also wrote a letter to Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, urging the organization and member countries to respond to the new actions of the U.S. and holding Washington responsible for the consequences of unilateral sanctions.
