Iran Accuses US of 'Economic Terrorism' at UN Amid Strait of Hormuz Attacks

Iran has accused the United States of "economic terrorism" in a letter to the UN, following new American sanctions. This comes amid an ongoing US-Israeli offensive against Iran that began February 28, marked by attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Washington does not rule out further military strikes on Iran or the Strait of Hormuz, citing economic pressure as currently most effective. Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims an agreement with Oman on sharing toll revenues from the strait. Separately, Israel continued bombarding Gaza and Lebanon, while Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected any deal with Tehran, calling them "savages." The US also faces concerns over ammunition depletion in the Indo-Pacific, potentially delaying Patriot missile deliveries to Taiwan and Japan.
