The department stated that the sanctions are intended to increase financial pressure on Iran, including by restricting its ability to generate energy revenue used to support resistance movements across the Middle East.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismail Baghaei, described Iran's retaliatory missile operation against the Israeli regime as a legal action and in line with the international law exercising the inherent right of self-defense, meanwhile, the action of the United States in imposing sanctions against several companies and ships lacked any kind of legal or logical basis and is considered a form of 'extortion' to the rogue Israeli regime.
Baghaei reminded the destructive and negative role of the US government in the security and stability of the West Asian region and noted that Washington, as the most important political supporter and the main supplier of weapons used by the Zionist regime in the genocide of Gaza and aggression against Lebanon, is a partner and accomplice of this regime and is considered to have committed the most severe international crimes.
Imposing sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran under the guise of supporting the Zionist regime, while creating the international responsibility of the US government, will cause the Israeli regime to continue killing innocents and threaten the peace in the region and the world.
On October 1, Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward the Israeli entity’s military intelligence and spying bases in a retaliatory attack.
The operation came in response to the regime’s assassinations of Hamas’s chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
