g1.globo.com (Portuguese)

Iran warned neighboring countries on Monday that joining the US economic pressure campaign would bring "consequences," according to its foreign ministry spokesman. The warning follows Saturday remarks by parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf, who said Iran received messages from neighbors about new security and economic arrangements, prompted by President Donald Trump's threats to punish nations trading with Iran. Iran also granted Iraqi tankers passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which Baghdad requested during Ghalibaf's visit to Iraq. Trump announced the "most crushing economic operation" against Iran on Wednesday, while Tehran dismissed the pressure as a distraction from US problems.
