🔴 Iran's Economy Minister: We Will Win Economic War Just Like Military Battles

Iran's Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh to the US Treasury Secretary Bessenet:

🔹 The Islamic Republic will defeat adversaries in the ongoing economic confrontation, just as it has in past military challenges.

🔹 Maximum pressure campaigns are not new, and they have consistently failed to sever Iran's economic lifelines. We have long anticipated this phase and developed comprehensive contingency plans.

🔹 Hostile powers have repeatedly tested Iran's resolve but failed. Just as we succeeded on the battlefield, we will succeed in the economic arena.

🔹 Global financial networks are no longer easily disrupted.

🔴Water Supply Disrupted Across Occupied Territories

🔹Several private desalination facilities became offline across the Israeli-occupied territories by what Israeli officials claim was unusual weather and heavy rainfall overnight that caused severe turbidity in seawater—a disruption that has created disturbances in the national water supply.

🔹The Water Authority has claimed that, contrary to rumors circulating online, the incident is not the result of a cyberattack but is entirely attributable to the exceptionally high turbidity levels of the seawater. To compensate for the shortfall, local wells have been brought online, and Mekorot, the national water company, has increased its production capacity to help stabilize the system.

🔹In response to the situation, the Eshkol Regional Council has urgently requested that farmers and landscaping authorities immediately cease or minimize the use of freshwater for agricultural irrigation and, where possible, switch to treated wastewater.

🔴 Baghaei: EU Stance on U.S. Economic War against Iran Violates International Law

Esmaeil Baghaei, the spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote on the X network in reaction to the EU support for the illegal U.S. sanctions against Iran:

🔹 The stance EU on the U.S. economic war against Iran is a violation of international law, contrary to the EU's own regulations, and incompatible with Europe's claimed values.

🔹 The European Union cannot endorse Washington’s economic terrorism against Iran while claiming to seek de-escalation and regional stability. The two positions are mutually exclusive. This irresponsible stance is evidence of the EU’s moral decay and political incompetence.
