The rebuttal follows President Donald Trump’s declaration of what he termed the most crushing economic operation ever launched against a foreign state.

His comments reflect a hardened diplomatic stance, suggesting that Tehran views the current escalation as a performative gesture rather than a genuine shift in global economic leverage.
