According to CoinMeta, on August 24th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahagae held a press conference on regional issues and hot topics such as Iran-US relations. Bahagae emphasized that Iran has the right to strike at the source of all aggression. Furthermore, the United States' threat to impose a new round of sanctions on Iran seriously violates international law. In response to the US threat to impose what it calls "the harshest sanctions" on Iran, Bahagae stated that the Iranian government is aware of the economic pressures and commercial difficulties faced domestically at this stage, which are part of the pressures exerted by the United States on the Iranian people over the past few decades. The Iranian government has already made assessments and is taking all measures to counter the economic sanctions. He condemned the US designation of its sanctions against Iran as an "economic war," stating that this indicates the US's disregard for the system of free trade between nations and national sovereignty.
