Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei slams Trump\u2019s latest threat as a return to \u2018full-scale classic colonialism\u2019.<\/p>\n

Iran has decried impending United States sanctions as a \u201ccomplete erosion of sovereignty\u201d following US President Donald Trump\u2019s threat to punish<\/a> any country doing business with Tehran.<\/p>\n

In a post on X on Saturday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the US announcement was \u201can assertion of extraterritorial sovereignty\u201d against the United Nations\u2019 member states.<\/p>\n

No state can compel foreign banks, enterprises or airports to renounce commerce with Iran, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe end result would be the complete erosion of sovereignty as the foundational basis of the UN-based inter-State system, and a recipe for an abysmal return to full-scale classic colonialism,\u201d Baghaei said.<\/p>\n

Trump announced<\/a> on Wednesday the \u201cmost crushing economic operation\u201d yet against Iran and said any country whose institutions interface with Tehran would face \u201ctremendous economic consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doubled down<\/a> on the president\u2019s words on Thursday, saying the new sanctions regime would \u201ccollapse\u201d Iran and that other countries are \u201ceither with us or against us\u201d.<\/p>\n

Iranian state media was quick to point out that Tehran has faced US sanctions for decades. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the new measures were \u201cbound to fail\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen this movie before,\u201d Araghchi wrote on X, alongside a screenshot of a tweet from former President Barack Obama referencing earlier sanctions in 2012. \u201cSame bull. Different bullies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest rhetorical back-and-forth comes as peace talks with Tehran have sputtered out. The US Navy has maintained its blockade against Iran\u2019s ports, while oil shipment traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has virtually ceased.<\/p>\n

Trump told reporters Friday that his government is \u201cseeing what happens\u201d in the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would love to make a deal, but they\u2019re not ready to make the right deal in my opinion,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

While the US has blockaded Iranian vessels in their ports, the Strait of Hormuz remained bottled up with thousands of seafarers stranded on hundreds of vessels.<\/p>\n

Only four commodity ships sailed along the strait on Thursday, none of them large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers, ship-tracking data showed.<\/p>\n

However, Iran has granted permission for several Iraqi oil tankers to pass through the strait following repeated requests from Baghdad, Iran\u2019s state news agency IRNA \u2060reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

IRNA said obtaining special permission for Iraqi tankers was one of Baghdad\u2019s main requests during Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher \u2060Ghalibaf\u2019s visit to Iraq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei slams Trump\u2019s latest threat as a return to \u2018full-scale classic colonialism\u2019.
