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

Iran said it will intensify reforms and retaliation as sanctions strain the economy and renewed U.S.-Iran strikes widen the conflict.

  • 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.
  • Six months into the conflict, Iran continues operating its Kharg Island export hub despite being struck 550 times, though the war appears at a stalemate with Iran exporting 90% of its crude via Kharg before the war.
  • Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned on Sunday 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 change, Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh asserted on Sunday that responsibility for reforming Iran's economy rests with the government and Iranian people.
  • The IRGC Navy warned U.S. forces to avoid unauthorized waterways or face targeting, while the Economy Ministry's Economic War Headquarters intensifies efforts to resolve war-related economic disruptions.
