    İran Dışişleri Bakan Yardımcısı Kazım Garibabadi: 'ABD zafer yanılsaması içinde'

    İran Dışişleri Bakan Yardımcısı Kazım Garibabadi, ABD Hazine Bakanı Scott Bessent'in "Tahran'a yönelik ekonomik baskının artırılacağı" yönündeki açıklamalarına tepki göstererek, Washington'ın söylemlerinin kendi içinde çeliştiğini belirtti. Garibabadi, X hesabından yaptığı açıklamada, Bessent'in "İran'ın askeri kapasitesinin ortadan kaldırıldığı, askeri fabrikalarının tamamına yakınının yok edildiği ve nükleer programının gömüldüğü" yönündeki ifadelerine atıfta bulunarak şunları kaydetti: "İran'ın askeri kapasitesinin ortadan kaldırıldığını, askeri fabrikalarının yüzde 100'ünün yok edildiğini ve nükleer programının gömüldüğünü söylüyorsunuz. Ancak aynı İran için 'tarihin en büyük mali saldırısının' düzenlenmesi ve ABD'nin tüm kurum ve yetkilerinin seferber edilmesi gerekiyorsa, bu bir zafer mi, yoksa acı bir yenilgi itirafı mı?" Washington'ın bu politikayı başka ülkeleri cezalandırmakla tehdit ederek sürdürdüğünü belirten Garibabadi, "Zafer yanılsaması, bunu kanıtlamak için başka ülkeleri de cezalandırmakla tehdit etmek zorunda kalındığında daha da dikkat çekici hale geliyor" değerlendirmesinde bulundu. ABD'nin 48 yıldır İran'ın yok olacağını öne sürdüğünü belirten Garibabadi, bu söylemlerin her defasında farklı isimlerle gündeme getirildiğini kaydetti ve "İran ayakta ve güçlü kalmaya devam ediyor; yalnızca başarısızlığa uğrayan projelerin adı değişiyor" ifadelerini kullandı. ABD Hazine Bakanı Bessent, X'ten yaptığı açıklamada, ABD Başkanı Donald Trump'ın, İran'ın askeri kapasitesini, askeri fabrikalarının neredeyse tamamını ve nükleer programını "yok ettiğini" savunmuş, "Şimdi 'oyunun son aşamasına' giriyoruz. Şafakta, bir düşmana karşı bugüne kadar düzenlenmiş en büyük mali saldırı olan ekonomik taarruz günü başlıyor"ifadelerini kullanmıştı. ABD Hazine Bakanı Bessent: 'İran'da oyunun son aşamasına giriyoruz'

    ABD İran’ı dışlarken ticarette ne olur?

    ABD’nin İran’a karşı örmeye başladığı ekonomik duvar, ülkenin global ekonomiden izole edilmesi anlamına geliyor. ABD’nin devreye aldığı ‘ekonomik dışlama operasyonu’nda ilk hedef, İran’ın ‘kaynağı belirsiz para’ hareketlerine karşı olacak. Bu kapsamda ilk adım olarak ise Trump yönetimi, İran adına kara para aklayan her türlü kuruluşu ABD doları sisteminden dışlayacak. Operasyon; dijital varlıklar, altın, havacılık, teknoloji ve denizcilik sektörlerinde yeni yaptırımlar getiriyor. Gri alan yok İkinci büyük tehdit ise İran ile ticaret yapan üçüncü ülkelere geldi. ABD Hazine Bakanı Scott Bessent, tüm ülkelere Tahran’la ekonomik bağlarını koparmaları çağrısı yaparak aksi halde bu ülkelerin ABD’nin misillemesiyle karşılaşacakları uyarısında bulundu. Bessent, “Bu rejimle her türlü ekonomik ilişki sorumluları Amerikan gücünün tüm erişimine maruz bırakılacak” derken, “gri alanlarda çalışmanın artık kabul edilebilir olmadığını” ifade etti. Bu açıdan asıl hedef ‘Çin’ olarak değerlendiriliyor. İran tehditleri savuşturabilir ABD’nin tehdidinin etkili olabilmesinin, İran petrolünün yaklaşık yüzde 90’ını satın alan Çin’e yönelik yaptırımların uygulanmasına bağlı olduğu belirtiliyor. ■ Bloomberg, Çin’in, İran’ın en büyük petrol müşterisi ve Tahran’ın dünya ekonomisiyle bağlantısında kritik rol oynadığına dikkat çekerek, Çinli şirketleri kapsamayan bir yaptırımın, İran’ın kalan gelir kaynakları üzerinde önemli bir etki yaratmasının beklenmediğini ifade ediyor. ■ The Economist ise, İran’ın, ABD’nin mali tehditlerini savuşturabileceğini öne sürüyor. İran Merkez Bankası’nın, ülkenin petrol ihracatının sıfıra düştüğünü söylediğini belirten Economist, bununla birlikte İran’ın Hürmüz Boğazı dışında gemilerde yaklaşık 80 milyon varil petrolü bulunduğu, bu miktarın normal petrol ihracat gelirlerinin yalnızca bir bölümünü karşılayabileceğini belirtti. Çin, savaş sırasında İran petrolünü piyasa fiyatının varil başına 7-12 dolar altında satın aldı ve İran’ın ham petrol ihracatının yaklaşık yüzde 90’ını aldı. İran’ın petrol gelirleri geçen yıl devlet bütçesinin yaklaşık yarısını sağladı. Türkiye sürecin neresinde? Türkiye İran’a en çok tekstil ürünleri, makineler ve parçaları, plastik ve çeşitli kimyasal ürünler, karayolu taşıtları ve parçaları, tarım ürünleri ihraç ederken; doğal gaz, plastik ve mamulleri, tarım ürünleri, demir dışı metaller (alüminyum), demir-çelik üretiminden faydalanıyor. Aralarında 6 milyar dolarlık bir ticaret akışı var. Türkiye doğal gaz ihtiyacının neredeyse tamamını ithal ediyor ve bunun yaklaşık yüzde 13’ü İran’dan geliyor. Kaynakların aktardıklarına göre, mevcutta farklı alanlarda özellikle yüksek gümrük vergilerinin devam ettiği ABD ile yaptırımlara karşı ‘alışkanlık’ var. Buradaki en büyük endişe; İran gazı. Ancak buna karşı bir adım beklenmiyor. İran cephesi ne diyor? İran Meclis Başkanı Muhammed Bakır Galibaf, ABD’nin İran ve İran’la ekonomik iş birliği yapan ülkelere yönelik yaptırım tehditlerinin etkisiz kalacağını savundu. Galibaf, İran’ın ticari ortaklarının Washington’ın açıklamalarını ciddiye almadığını söyledi. İran Ekonomi Bakanı Ali Madani-zadeh, ABD’nin yeni yaptırım kampanyasına karşı hazırlıklı olduklarını belirterek, ülkenin finansal ve ticari bağlantılarının koparılmasının kolay olmayacağını söyledi. Nasıl bir yaptırım? Yaptırımlar vergi düzenlemeleri, yatırım erteleme, ithalat ve ihracat kısıtları başlıca uygulamalar olarak tahmin ediliyor; ancak bu durumda ABD’nin de mahrum kalacağı farklı ürünlerle kendi ekonomisine zarar vereceği de ortada. Kaynaklar, Trump’ın kasımdaki ara seçimler öncesi söylemlerini sertleştirdiğini, fakat uygulamada bunları göze almak istemeyeceğine yönelik öngörüde bulunuyor. İran’a ticaret ortaklığı ve jeopolitik yakınlık nedeniyle ikincil yaptırım ile tehdit edilen ülkelerin başında Çin, Irak, BAE, Katar, Türkiye, Hindistan, Pakistan olduğu tahmin ediliyor. ABD basını yaptırımların işe yaraması için Washington’ın bu ülkelerle sert biçimde yüzleşmek zorunda kalabileceğini belirtiyor. İran doğal gaz rezervlerinde Amerika ve Rusya’dan sonra, kanıtlanmış ham petrol rezervlerinde de Venezuela ve Suudi Arabistan’dan sonra dünyada üçüncü sırada yer alıyor. Petrolünün yüzde 80 gibi çok büyük bir payı Çin’e gidiyor. BAE gitti, Çin geldi İran’ın ana ithalat kalemleri elektrik dışı makineler, demir ve çelik, kimyasallar ve ilgili ürünler, taşıma araçları ve elektrikli makineler, aletler ve cihazlar olarak biliniyor. Ana ithalat ortakları ise daha önce ilk sırada yer alan Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri (BAE), Körfez’deki savaş ortamı nedeniyle ticareti İran’dan kaydırıyor. Yerine ise ilk sırayı toplam ithalatın yüzde 40’ı ile Çin aldı. Irak ile tarihi birlik devam ediyor; gaz ve elektrik kritik önemde. Asıl hedef Çin mi? İran, küresel sahnede arkasında Çin ve Rusya’nın gücünü hissediyor. Analistler, bu durumun, ABD’nin halihazırdaki ‘Çin kompleksini’ İran aracılığıyla daha da açığa çıkardığını belirtiyor. Buna karşılık İran petrolünün en büyük alıcısı Çin, tüm bu jeopolitik karışıklıktan yararlanarak ticaret gücünü pekiştirirken, ayrıca piyasadan yüksek miktarda altın alımına devam ettiği görülüyor. 2025 yılında 1.2 trilyon dolarlık toplam ticaret fazlası ardından Çin, 2026 yılı boyunca da her ayı yeni bir rekorla geçiriyor. Çin’in ABD ile ticaret hacmi 570 milyar dolar, AB ile ticaret hacmi 800 milyar dolar… Analistler, Çin’in bu kaynağı kaybetmeyi göze alamayacağını, ancak olası yaptırımlara karşı da hazırlıklı olarak ABD’li pek çok üreticiyi çok zor durumda bırakacak güce sahip olduğunu ifade ediyor.

    Pakistan treads carefully as US tightens Iran sanctions

    ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Thursday adopted a measured position on the US campaign of economic pressure against Iran, stressing that it would comply with international law and hoped that economic issues would eventually form part of a wider settlement of the US-Iran conflict. “About trade with Iran, Pakistan is following international law, and our bilateral trade agreements with Iran,” Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said at the weekly media briefing. “As such, our trade remains in consonance with our obligations.” The carefully-worded position came two days after the US announced ‘Operation Econ­omic Outcast’, an intensified sanctions campaign aimed at economically strangulating Ir­an to force it to capitulate after months of military confrontation. The campaign announced by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expands the risk of secondary sanctions to sectors including shipping, aviation, technology, gold and digital assets. Washington has warned that countries and companies continuing dealings with Iran could face exclusion from the US financial system. FO insists assurances alone won’t do; talks with Kabul hinge on verifiable action against terror outfits Islamabad, however, avoi­ded directly confronting the US measures, instead anchoring its position in international law and its existing agreements with Tehran. Pakistan’s formulation also left room for the issue to be addressed through the mediation process it has been pursuing between Washington and Tehran. “Pakistan hopes that, as part of a wider settlement of the US-Iran standoff, all economic issues will also be settled in the long run, as they form an important part of a viable settlement,” Mr Andrabi said. “Pakistan remains engaged in its mediatory role in this regard.” The position reflects the difficult balance facing Islam­abad. While US is an important economic partner for Pakistan, Iran is a neighbouring country with strong connections with a segment of its population. Moreover, the FO’s stance closely echoed the positions taken by China and Qatar on the US move. China had said that its trade with Iran was in the framework of “international law”, while Qatar described the sanctions as unilateral and emphasized on dialogue and a “regional solution”. The FO spokeperson was more forthcoming about the signs of movement on the Strait of Hormuz, saying Pakistan remained hopeful that recent diplomatic activity could generate momentum towards reopening the vital waterway. “During the visit of the Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir, there were indeed renewed efforts for the opening of the Strait of Hormuz,” Mr Andrabi said. “So, we remain positive that some momentum will be generated towards this important aspect.” The strait has remained at the centre of the wider US-Iran standoff since the breakdown of the Islamabad MoU, which had envisaged its reopening as part of a broader cessation of hostilities and subsequent negotiations. Pakistan’s renewed engagement came as discussions between Iran, Oman and Qatar on arrangements for navigation through the waterway appeared to enter their final leg. Mr Andrabi cautioned, however, that the final decision rested with Washington and Tehran. The Foreign Office also pushed back against reports that Field Marshal Asim Munir had travelled to Tehran “as an envoy of the US president or at Washington’s request”. “I have very categorically stated that reports alluding to his visit to Iran as an envoy of the US President or at the US behest are quite misleading,” Mr Andrabi said. “So, these reports are not factually correct.” He said the visit should, instead, be viewed within the context of Islamabad’s own mediation efforts. “This visit was purely in the context and backdrop of Pakistan’s ongoing role as a mediator, and this is, in essence, how it should be reflected,” he said. Afghanistan The FO spokesperson also said that dialogue with Afghanistan remains contingent on definitive action against terrorism, as it made clear that mere assurances from Kabul would not be enough and any bilateral mechanism must produce tangible and verifiable results against groups operating from Afghan soil. Mr Andrabi said Pakistan had noted Afghan Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani’s proposal for a dedicated mechanism to address contentious issues and remained open to state-level engagement, but stressed that Islamabad had heard assurances before without seeing them translated into effective action. “However, the sustainability of any mechanism will depend on tangible actions rather than mere assurances,” Mr Andrabi said. He said Kabul would have to ensure that Afghan territory was not used for attacks against Pakistan and honour its international commitments, including those under the Doha framework. In particular, he named the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and the Baloch Liberation Army as groups whose activities from Afghan territory remained a major concern for Islamabad. “We remain ready for institutional coordination, provided it results in tangible and verifiable counter-terrorism measures and effective border management,” he said. The Pakistani response came after Mr Haqqani proposed a dedicated bilateral coordination mechanism with Pakistan, saying Afghan authorities were prepared to cooperate on information-sharing, border management and the movement of militants. He also suggested a separate mechanism for trade, transit and refugee issues, as prolonged border restrictions have disrupted commercial activity between the two countries.

    Iran strikes US military targets in Jordan after American attack on Larak Island in latest in latest flare-up

    Iran said on Monday it attacked US military targets in Jordan in retaliation for the first American strikes on its territory in a month, marking a fresh flare-up in the six-month war. Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they struck two US military air bases with ballistic missiles in Washington-allied Jordan, causing “heavy damage”. Jordan’s army said it had intercepted eight missiles, without stating their origin. The strikes came after the United States said on Sunday it had attacked Iranian rocket launchers on a small island in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington said its attacks were aimed at preventing Iran from launching more sea mines into the strait, days after it announced it had completed clearing explosives from the strategic waterway. “US forces took limited, precise action against IRGC mine laying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz,” the US Central Command (Centcom) wrote on X. The Guards said the US strikes resulted in “casualties” and that their subsequent attack on Jordan was “in response to the US-Zionist aerial aggression”. The exchange of fire came shortly after the US-Iran war hit the six-month mark, and at a time when hostilities had been subsiding. In recent weeks, the administration of US President Donald Trump has prioritised “economic warfare” over military strikes on Iran. Tehran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic sea lane through which one-fifth of the world’s oil passed before the United States and Israel triggered hostilities with strikes on Iran on February 28. “Last week, Centcom completed clearing sea mines from the strait’s international shipping routes,” said Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for US Central Command. “US forces are monitoring the area closely and remain prepared to protect the free flow of commerce through this essential waterway,” he said. Bessent signals more sanctions The return to hostilities follows weeks in which the Trump administration has stepped up efforts to punish Tehran and its business partners with costly economic sanctions, shifting away from military options. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Reuters on Sunday new secondary sanctions were likely to be unveiled weekly in the effort to pressure Iran, with an initial focus on banks. “We’re starting with the banks, and we’re telling the banks it’s not okay to have Iranian money and to aid the regime,” Bessent said in an interview. After imposing penalties on the United Arab Emirates branches of Egypt’s Banque Misr on Friday over alleged financial links to Iran, Bessent said the next step may be cutting off an institution entirely from the dollar-based financial system. “You’re going to see a lot more of these every week,” Bessent told Reuters, ahead of a meeting of Group of 20 finance leaders. Unpopular war Diplomatic efforts, spearheaded by mediators including Pakistan and Qatar, have tried for months to bring an end to the war. While a ceasefire was agreed in April and a memorandum of understanding towards a final peace deal was signed in June, no agreement has been forthcoming, and Washington has since declared “economic warfare” against Tehran. A US naval counterblockade of Iranian ports is squeezing petrol supplies in Iran during a shortfall in domestic production, as the US ramps up the pressure. The April ceasefire put an end to the most intense fighting, but sporadic attacks, mainly around the Strait of Hormuz, have dimmed the prospects of a final peace agreement. The last US strike on Iran prior to Sunday’s came on July 29 in response to “an attempted surprise attack on US forces” in the region, the US military said. Earlier in July, Centcom attacked Iran for 13 consecutive nights. Throughout the war, Iran has fought back by striking US facilities and allies in the Gulf region, hitting targets in Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, among others. Its closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused pain around the world in the form of price hikes and shortages of fertilizer and energy. Oil prices rose after news of the US strikes on Iran. A barrel of North Sea Brent crude, the international benchmark, climbed back above the symbolic $90 threshold. West Texas Intermediate rose to more than $85. The Iran war is deeply unpopular with the US public, with midterm elections looming in November that could overturn Republican control of Congress. In a statement on Friday, US Senator Jack Reed criticised Trump over the war. “Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved,” said Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Indeed, he has weakened our position in the Middle East and the world significantly.”

    Iran targets US military in Jordan, UAE after American attack on Larak Island in latest flare-up

    Iran said on Monday it attacked US military targets in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in retaliation for the first American strikes on its territory in a month, marking a fresh flare-up in the six-month war. Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they struck two US military air bases with ballistic missiles in Washington-allied Jordan, causing “heavy damage”. Jordan’s army said it had intercepted eight missiles, without stating their origin.

The Guards said the US strikes resulted in “casualties” and that their subsequent attack on Jordan was “in response to the US-Zionist aerial aggression”. In a separate statement, IRGC said it attacked the United Arab Emirates’ Al Minhad Air Base with drones, Iranian state TV reported. It said the attack, prompted by the attack on Larak Islanad, targeted locations where US forces and helicopters were stationed at the base. Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry said armed forces struck US military bases in Jordan in response to the attack on Larak Island. The ministry said the Us bases in Jordan had been used to launch and support the attack on Larak. It said Iran would respond decisively to further military aggression and that the US and parties supporting its actions bore full responsibility for any escalation.

    War weighs on Iran's economy as US intensifies sanctions

    Iranian leaders are acknowledging the economic toll of war with the US, with the supreme leader urging the government to address the hardship and the president saying foreign trade has shrunk by a third due to the American sanctions and blockade. Yet Tehran signalled no retreat on Saturday, vowing to withstand US pressure, pursue diplomacy and maintain what it said was control over the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway giving Iran leverage through its ability to disrupt global energy markets. The government said in a statement on state media that addressing economic pressures caused by sanctions and war was a central focus, including curbing inflation, managing markets, creating jobs, directing investment towards domestic production and gradually reducing dependence on the dollar. Six months after the US and Israel launched the war, negotiations are at an impasse and President Donald Trump’s administration has stepped up efforts to punish Iran financially with what it has billed as an “economic D-Day”. Sanctions compund toll on Iran’s economy Washington has warned countries to cut business ties with Iran or face secondary sanctions, though the Treasury Department stopped short of imposing penalties against major Iranian trade partners such as China and India, which could have repercussions for the US and global economies. The Treasury imposed sanctions on Egypt’s Banque Misr for doing business with Tehran, proposing a rule that would cut off the bank’s branches in the United Arab Emirates from dollar transactions. Egypt’s central bank said it and the foreign ministry were in contact with US officials concerning the matter, adding the measure was limited to Banque Misr UAEs US dollar transactions with correspondent banks only. Banque Misr said later in a statement it was reviewing the US Treasury notice, adding that its branch in the UAE continued to provide banking services to its customers in line with applicable rules and procedures. The US also issued sanctions targeting an entity based in Hong Kong and a person linked to Iran’s Bank Melli, according to a notice on the Treasury website. The sanctions drive compounds the toll of the war on Iran’s economy, where annual inflation hit 66 per cent last month. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei who has not been seen publicly since initial February 28 attack that assassinated his father and former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on the government to tackle the economic hardship. “There is the need to seriously address the chain of economic and livelihood challenges, such as inflation, unemployment, management of prices and the market for goods and services,” according to a written statement attributed to Khamenei. President Masoud Pezeshkian told state media that Iranian exports and imports had slumped nearly 35pc because of US sanctions and a naval blockade of Iranian ports. But he said Iran was able to sell about 90 million barrels of oil during the short-lived memorandum of understanding that the US and Iran signed in June, when Washington permitted Iranian oil sales. Iran vows to pursue diplomacy and defence With the US focused on its economic pressure campaign, others have sought to revive diplomatic efforts to end the war. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met with Iranian leaders in Tehran on Thursday. He said he had stressed during the meeting the importance of returning to the pre-war status of open shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Friday described the talks with Al Thani as “creative”. In Saturday’s statement, Iran said diplomacy and defence were “two complementary, coordinated and inseparable wings” for protecting the country’s national interests, security and territorial integrity. It said it would pursue both tracks in a balanced manner. Qatar, a US ally and Gulf neighbour to Iran, and Pakistan helped broker the Islamabad memorandum of understanding that led to a brief ceasefire before disagreements over the vital strait caused it to unravel. Before the war, the waterway carried 20pc of the world’s oil and LNG. US military commanders claim American forces have cleared sea mines from the strait that had been laid months ago by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Trump has repeatedly said the Strait of Hormuz is open, but the Revolutionary Guards’ navy said in a statement that such claims “are an obvious lie”, reiterating that the waterway remained closed to ships without Iranian permission. Only seven commodity vessels transited the strait on Thursday, down from 17 a day earlier and below the 10-day average of 15, preliminary shipping data showed on Friday.

    Iran targets US military in Jordan after American attack on Larak Island in latest flare-up

    Iran said on Monday it attacked US military targets in Jordan in retaliation for the first American strikes on its territory in a month, marking a fresh flare-up in the six-month war. Tehran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they struck two US military air bases with ballistic missiles in Washington-allied Jordan, causing “heavy damage”. Jordan’s army said it had intercepted eight missiles, without stating their origin. The strikes came after the United States said on Sunday it had attacked Iranian rocket launchers on a small island in the Strait of Hormuz. Washington said its attacks were aimed at preventing Iran from launching more sea mines into the strait, days after it announced it had completed clearing explosives from the strategic waterway. “US forces took limited, precise action against IRGC mine laying forces posing an imminent threat in the Strait of Hormuz,” the US Central Command (Centcom) wrote on X. The Guards said the US strikes resulted in “casualties” and that their subsequent attack on Jordan was “in response to the US-Zionist aerial aggression”. Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry said armed forces struck US military bases in Jordan in response to the attack on Larak Island. The ministry said the US bases in Jordan had been used to launch and support the attack on Larak. Condemning the attack, the foreign ministry said strikes by Iranian forces on bases in Jordan were “legitimate defence”. Iran “strongly condemned the American military aggression on Larak”, and Iranian forces responded “in accordance with the inherent right of legitimate defence”, it said. The ministry warned that Iran would respond decisively to further military aggression and that the US and parties supporting its actions bore full responsibility for any escalation. In a separate statement, IRGC said it attacked the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Al Minhad Air Base with drones, Iranian state TV reported. It said the attack, prompted by the attack on Larak Island, targeted locations where US forces and helicopters were stationed at the base. However, the UAE denied the claims, after announcing it had intercepted an Iranian drone over its waters. “Media reports regarding a missile attack on Al Minhad Air Base are baseless,” the Emirati defence ministry said in a statement on X. Monday’s exchange of fire came shortly after the US-Iran war hit the six-month mark, and at a time when hostilities had been subsiding. In recent weeks, the administration of US President Donald Trump has prioritised “economic warfare” over military strikes on Iran. Tehran has effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic sea lane through which one-fifth of the world’s oil passed before the United States and Israel triggered hostilities with strikes on Iran on February 28. Bessent signals more sanctions The return to hostilities follows weeks in which the Trump administration has stepped up efforts to punish Tehran and its business partners with costly economic sanctions, shifting away from military options. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Reuters on Sunday new secondary sanctions were likely to be unveiled weekly in the effort to pressure Iran, with an initial focus on banks. “We’re starting with the banks, and we’re telling the banks it’s not okay to have Iranian money and to aid the regime,” Bessent said in an interview. After imposing penalties on the United Arab Emirates branches of Egypt’s Banque Misr on Friday over alleged financial links to Iran, Bessent said the next step may be cutting off an institution entirely from the dollar-based financial system. “You’re going to see a lot more of these every week,” Bessent told Reuters, ahead of a meeting of Group of 20 finance leaders. Unpopular war Diplomatic efforts, spearheaded by mediators including Pakistan and Qatar, have tried for months to bring an end to the war. While a ceasefire was agreed in April and a memorandum of understanding towards a final peace deal was signed in June, no agreement has been forthcoming, and Washington has since declared “economic warfare” against Tehran. A US naval counterblockade of Iranian ports is squeezing petrol supplies in Iran during a shortfall in domestic production, as the US ramps up the pressure. The April ceasefire put an end to the most intense fighting, but sporadic attacks, mainly around the Strait of Hormuz, have dimmed the prospects of a final peace agreement. The last US strike on Iran prior to Sunday’s came on July 29 in response to “an attempted surprise attack on US forces” in the region, the US military said. Earlier in July, Centcom attacked Iran for 13 consecutive nights. Throughout the war, Iran has fought back by striking US facilities and allies in the Gulf region, hitting targets in Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, among others. Its closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused pain around the world in the form of price hikes and shortages of fertiliser and energy. Oil prices rose after news of the US strikes on Iran. A barrel of North Sea Brent crude, the international benchmark, climbed back above the symbolic $90 threshold. West Texas Intermediate rose to more than $85. The Iran war is deeply unpopular with the US public, with midterm elections looming in November that could overturn Republican control of Congress. In a statement on Friday, US Senator Jack Reed criticised Trump over the war. “Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved,” said Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Indeed, he has weakened our position in the Middle East and the world significantly.”

    Iran launches strikes on Jordan after US attacks an island in Hormuz

    The US attacks on Iran are the first in around a month as the Trump administration had shifted its war objective to inflict maximum economic pain on Tehran. Washington says the strikes were aimed at preventing Iranian forces from disrupting global shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

    Trump threatens retribution after Iran responds to US escalation

    • After weeks of calm, US forces strike Iranian launchers on Larak Island; Tehran retaliates with missiles on Jordan bases, drone over UAE waters • Pezeshkian calls for negotiated end to war • Trump posts AI video of ‘explosion on Kharg Island’ WASHINGTON: US Pres­i­dent Donald Trump on Mon­day threatened to “hit” Iran hard after it launched attacks against US positions in the Middle East in retaliation for American strikes on Larak Island, escalating tensi­ons between the two countries after weeks of relative calm. “We’re going to hit them hard,” Trump said, according to a Fox News reporter who spoke with him. “There will be a response.” The exchange began after US forces struck Iran’s Larak Island, a small Iranian territory near the key port of Bandar Abbas in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media said two people had been killed and several wounded in the US strike, though the semi-official IRNA news agency, citing a local governor, did not clarify whether the casualties were military or civilian. However, American officials said the strike targeted two Iranian launchers after Revolutionary Guard forces were spotted preparing to fire rockets carrying sea mines into the waterway. US Central Command described the action as “limited, precise” and said it was aimed at an “imminent threat” to shipping, without elaborating further. Iran’s response was swift; Tehran said its Revolu­tion­ary Guard had fired ballistic missiles at two US air bases in Jordan, claiming to have inflicted “heavy damage”. Washington has not yet confirmed the damage, but Jordanian authorities said they had intercepted eight missiles over their airspace but did not say where they had come from. Iran also said it had struck the Al Minhad air base in the United Arab Emirates, where US personnel are stationed. Abu Dhabi rejected the claim as false, though it later confirmed its air force had shot down a drone approaching from Iran over its territorial waters. The UAE’s Foreign Ministry condemned the drone incident as a “dangerous escalation” and said the country reserved its right to respond. It called the attack a violation of its sovereignty and security. Tehran’s foreign ministry called the retaliatory strikes on US targets in Jordan “legitimate defence”. Conciliatory note Despite the exchange of fire, Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, stru­ck a markedly softer tone on Monday, insisting his government still wanted a negotiated settlement. “We are still trying to achieve an agreement and understanding, and we believe that continuing the war is in no one’s interest, neither ours, nor the region’s, nor humanity’s,” he said, according to the Tasnim news agency, speaking on the sidelines of a regional security summit in Kyrgyzstan during talks with the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi. Dialogue, he added, remained the only route away from further instability. Sanctions pressure The renewed clashes come as Washington ramps up economic pressure on Tehran. Speaking at a G20 finance ministers’ meeting in North Carolina, the US Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, argued that Iran’s military response was born of economic desperation. “They’re taking it very seriously … they’re in shock at the state of their economy,” he told reporters, adding: “I would think that they are lashing out kinetically bec­ause they are losing economically.” Bessent said Wash­ington intended to widen secondary sanctions further, beginning with banks and financial institutions accused of aiding Tehran. In a separate interview with CNBC on Monday, Bessent said the aim of Washington’s sanctions regime was “to create the conditions that they will want to come to the table” for talks. AI-generated Kharg’s destruction Earlier, Trump also sparked controversy after posting an AI-generated video on his Truth Social platform that he claimed showed Iran’s oil hub at Kharg Island being “blown to smithereens”. There was no evidence that Kharg Island had been attacked, and a US official said the military had not targeted the facility. Reuters confirmed using software designed to detect AI-manipulated images that the dramatic explosion footage was most likely synthetically generated. Kharg Island is a key part of Iran’s infrastructure and handled 90pc of the country’s oil exports before the war. Vice President JD Vance said Trump’s post was intended to send a message to Tehran. “The president likes to switch it up on social media a little bit,” Vance said. “He would be the first to say he doesn’t make announcements about military actions on social media, but I think that he’s sending a message to the Iranians.” Published in Dawn, September 1st, 2026

    Iran targets American assets in Middle East after vowing 'severe' consequences for fresh wave of US strikes

    Iran pushed ahead with strikes targeting American interests around the Middle East on Wednesday after vowing “severe” consequences to a fresh wave of US attacks. The latest flare-up is part of a cycle of retaliation that followed US strikes on Iran, with fighting over the Hormuz strait expanding to Washington’s Gulf allies, military bases and commercial shipping. Tehran said it launched ballistic missile attacks on two US bases in Jordan, according to Iranian media. Washington did not immediately comment on the reports, although US President Donald Trump had warned earlier of “much harder and higher” attacks if Iran retaliated to US strikes. The Jordanian army said it intercepted 10 ballistic missiles fired from Iran, and did not confirm any injuries or hits. Three other missiles landed in remote areas, it said. Missile and drone attacks were also reported in Kuwait, where the army said they were responding to Iranian hostilities, and AFP reporters in Bahrain heard alert sirens for airborne attacks ring out early on Wednesday. Iran’s army said it launched drone attacks targeting US forces at an air base in Bahrain, a key Washington ally in the Gulf. In Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday that they struck US bases with missiles and drones, destroying a maintenance centre, warehouses and equipment, state-run IRNA reported. The latest round of conflict began when Washington hit Iranian targets on Sunday, the first known strikes in several weeks, after which Tehran’s forces targeted US troops in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, and projectiles struck two oil tankers in unclaimed attacks. More US strikes came on Tuesday, with Iranian state television reporting explosions in the country’s south along the Hormuz strait and on an island in the Gulf, and that US forces hit an airport in the southern province of Kerman. The Iranian Red Crescent said shrapnel from a US missile attack hit a home where a wedding celebration was taking place in the city of Kuhestak, killing four people, including a child, and wounding more than 50. Later, Iranian state media reported that seven people died and eight were injured in an attack in the southwestern province of Khuzestan. IRNA also reported that “four projectiles hit areas within the counties of Chabahar and Konarak”, without specifying whether there was any damage. Trump said the “large and powerful” strikes were “in retaliation for the Iranians’ failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait” and “the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan”. He later said on Truth Social that he was “not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table” and asked: “When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight?” Earlier, Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebi warned that Washington “will regret its new attacks”, saying that “severe punishment awaits the aggressors”. And Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam-al Anbiya central military command, warned on Wednesday that “any country that cooperates with the aggressive American army will face more severe, more widespread and destructive responses”. The US military said Tuesday’s strikes followed “attempted attacks by (the Revolutionary Guards) against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members deployed to the region”, the US Central Command (Centcom) wrote on X. Asked if the US military had received any credible reports of civilian casualties in the attacks, Centcom spokesman Captain Tim Hawkins said “the US military never targets civilians, unlike the IRGC”. Tanker attacks After six months of war, the foes remain at an impasse, with Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed and the United States persisting with a counter-blockade of Iranian ports. Washington said its forces attacked Iranian rocket launchers on the island of Larak on Sunday to prevent Tehran from planting mines in the strait’s key shipping lanes. The Middle East war began in late February with US-Israeli attacks on Iran that assassinated its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran collapsed after attacks on commercial ships in the Hormuz strait, through which one-fifth of world oil supplies flowed before the war. Greek maritime risk management firm Marisks said on Tuesday that two crude tankers were hit by “unknown projectiles” late the previous day. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency registered one of the incidents earlier, adding that no casualties or environmental effects had been reported. Despite the diplomatic deadlock, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed on Tuesday to match any US move to return to a deal aimed at ending the war. He also warned that a return by the United States to “a policy of pressure and threats could derail the path of diplomacy”.
