Iran has promised to push back against new US sanctions, which it described as an “economic D-day,” insisting that key trading partners will resist American pressure.
The statement came as Pakistan reported progress in its efforts to mediate between Washington and Tehran.
Iran’s response signals that it will not quietly accept the latest round of US measures, which are aimed at isolating its economy. Tehran said its allies and trading partners would not comply with Washington’s demands.
Pakistan, which has been acting as a go-between, said talks between the two sides have advanced, though it provided no specific details.
The development adds to rising tensions between Iran and the United States, with no public sign of direct negotiations.
