Tehran Responds to Trump’s Economic Threats: We See It as Another Defeat for the US

US President-elect Donald Trump announced the implementation of what he termed "lethal sanctions and isolation" against Iran, describing the move as an "economic D-Day." This action, aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran, was met with sharp criticism from officials of the Islamic Republic. Media outlets close to the Iranian government dismissed these threats in their reports, characterizing them as "another defeat for the US." Iranian officials maintain that the policy of maximum pressure has failed to achieve Washington's objectives in the past and assert that this new approach will not alter Tehran's resolve.
