Iranian officials mock US 'Economic D-Day' threats as US-Bahrain talks on sanctions

Iranian officials, including Baqaei, publicly mocked the US 'Economic D-Day' threats on social media, calling the campaign empty and provocative. The US Treasury Secretary and Bahraini Finance Minister held discussions on Iran's 'economic D-Day' and the potential for sanctions. Iran also called on other nations to condemn the US sanctions on Tehran during the 'economic D-Day' campaign. Tasnim and Bangladesh Pratidin reported that Iranian officials directly mocked the US threats, while Arab Times focused on Iran's broader appeal for international condemnation of US sanctions. Middle East Eye covered both the Iranian social media response and the US-Bahrain talks.
