Iran’s foreign ministry says all countries are obliged to refrain from implementing US sanctions against Tehran, adding that participation in them amounts to complicity in imposing one states unlawful will on independent states, Reuters reports.

In a statement published on its X account on Friday, the ministry described new US economic measures as illegal and reprehensible “state terrorism” and a crime against humanity, saying they put the health and livelihoods of millions of civilians at serious risk.

It called on the international community to uphold the rule of law and said Tehran would use all its capabilities to defend itself against what it called a combined US-Israeli military and economic assault.
