Iran issued a warning on Saturday, stating that any country participating in the U.S. economic campaign against Tehran would be considered an enemy. Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, declared, "Any country participating in the imposition of economic restrictions against us is considered an enemy." This warning followed threats from President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding severe financial penalties. Concurrently, a report indicated that Iran-linked hackers disrupted a British power facility in July, taking it offline for four days, though British officials did not publicly link the incident to Iran. Tensions also persist over the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump has suggested declaring U.S. territory. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed the nation's defiance, stating, "The enemies imagined that with their pressure and actions Iran would collapse. Not only did this not happen, but the power and unity of the Iranian nation amazed the world."
