While the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement early Sunday, 15 Shahrivar, that it had targeted an unmanned CENTCOM vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military rejected the claim, calling it “a complete lie.” Iranian state media had reported that the unmanned American vessel was attempting to enter an area of the Strait of Hormuz that Iran had declared off-limits. Captain Tim Hawkins, spokesperson for U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), told the Associated Press that the IRGC’s claim was “a complete lie.” @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Qalibaf: The rules of the game have changed, and the era of proportional responses is over The speaker of Iran’s parliament said on Sunday, 15 Shahrivar, one day after the United States attacked several Iranian oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, that the era of “proportional responses” was over. At the same time, he acknowledged the country’s economic problems. Speaking at an open session of parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf threatened: “Any aggression against Iran’s interests and security will receive a faster, heavier, and more painful response.” Ghalibaf, who is the Islamic Republic’s chief negotiator in talks with the United States following the ceasefire, also said in his Sunday speech: “Sharp fluctuations in the currency exchange rate, inflation, unemployment, and market management are fundamental challenges that are putting serious pressure on people’s livelihoods.” He added: “Alongside the military front, our main battle today is on the fronts of production and people’s livelihoods.” His remarks came one day after the U.S. dollar’s price on Iran’s open market rose to nearly 228,000 tomans. Official figures also show a sharp rise in inflation in recent months. Iranian Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh also said on Sunday that Tehran’s response to the intensification of U.S. economic pressure was “economic resistance alongside economic reforms.” He rejected the view that sanctions would change Iran’s course. Referring to comments by senior officials in Donald Trump’s administration about U.S. efforts to cut Iran off from the global economy, he said: “It is wrong to imagine that pressure on Iran’s economy can change the decisions of a nation.” Iran’s economy minister added: “Responsibility for reforming Iran’s economy rests with the Iranian government and people, not the U.S. Treasury Department.” Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury secretary said that the combination of a naval blockade and sweeping sanctions had severely restricted the Islamic Republic of Iran’s oil exports and access to its revenues. In an interview with Fox News published on Sunday, Scott Bessent pointed to China’s role as the main buyer of Iranian oil, saying the naval blockade had prevented new shipments from leaving. He estimated that “probably only about 30 million barrels of Iranian crude oil remain that China has not yet bought.” @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The dollar’s price on Iran’s open market fell back to the 226,000-toman range after crossing the 230,000-toman mark. According to Eghtesad24, the dollar was trading at 226,105 tomans early Sunday. Gold and currency information websites had earlier reported that the dollar had briefly surged above 230,000 tomans. It then retreated at a fairly steep pace. Eghtesad News attributed the drop to the Central Bank’s entry into the market, writing that the bank is seeking to absorb liquidity. The dollar remittance rate at Iran’s Center for the Exchange of Currency and Gold was also announced at 160,983 tomans, leaving a gap of more than 65,000 tomans with the open market. Even after today’s correction, the current rate is nearly 10 percent higher than at the start of last week. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The IRGC’s public relations office announced in a statement early Sunday that its Aerospace Force had targeted a US Navy aircraft carrier and destroyer with several ballistic missiles. The statement said the vessels had taken part in the naval blockade and in blocking the passage of Iranian ships, and that after the attack they had “sustained damage” and “left the area of engagement.” The IRGC also cited CENTCOM’s confirmation that clashes had taken place, describing the operation as a response to Washington’s military actions. It warned that if military pressure and the naval blockade continue, US forces will face more extensive military responses. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
