Iran to tackle economic issues, says further attacks will be 'more painful'

Senior officials said Iran will answer any further attacks with faster, more painful retaliation as sanctions deepen pressure on its economy.

  • On Saturday, U.S. Central Command struck three Iranian tankers after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy ships; no American personnel were harmed.
  • The six-month-old conflict appears at a stalemate, with Iran continuing to operate its Kharg Island export hub despite being hit 550 times, though Iran exported 90% of its crude via Kharg before the war.
  • On Sunday, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that the rules of engagement have changed, stating any future attack on Iranian interests will receive a "faster, heavier and more painful response."
  • Rejecting the idea that U.S. sanctions would force political changes, Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh asserted on Sunday that responsibility for reforming Iran's economy rests with the government and Iranian people.
  • The IRGC Navy issued warnings to U.S. forces to avoid passing through unauthorized waterways, as the Economy Ministry's Economic War Headquarters intensifies efforts to resolve war-related disruptions.
