Iran dismisses Trump's threat: "A diversionary maneuver"

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismisses Donald Trump's threat to subject Iran to an "economic D-Day", reports AFP.

He writes in a post on X that Trump's plan is a continuation of the US's "failed policy".

"The so-called 'economic D-Day' is a diversion from the US's own crisis, record-high debts and rising interest rates", writes Araghchi.
