Iran leadership acknowledges 35% trade decline due to sanctions and US naval blockade
Al Jazeera·IR · US·2 days ago
Iran's foreign ministry formally condemns the US strike on Larak Island as a UN Charter violation and has appealed to the Security Council and Secretary-General, framing its missile retaliation on US bases in Jordan as lawful self-defense. This marks a diplomatic escalation in the ongoing US-Iran confrontation, shifting the dispute to international legal and multilateral arenas. The appeal is unlikely to yield concrete UN action given US veto power, but it signals Tehran's intent to internationalize the conflict and pressure Washington diplomatically.
