In a bold diplomatic move, Iran has become one of the first countries to publicly support India in response to the United States’ tariff and sanction policies. Tehran has strongly criticized Washington for what it calls the “weaponization of the global economy,” especially targeting developing nations like Iran and India.
Iran’s leadership stated that the U.S. uses sanctions and trade restrictions not just as economic tools, but as instruments of political pressure to influence sovereign nations. According to Iranian officials, such actions are a violation of international law and national sovereignty, and represent a new form of economic imperialism.
By backing India, Iran has emphasized the need for countries in the Global South to unite against unfair trade practices. It called for a stronger, more independent world order, free from the dominance of Western economic pressure.
This move marks a significant moment in global geopolitics, where nations from Asia and the Global South are increasingly voicing opposition to unilateral U.S. economic policies.
