> Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei criticized Donald Trump’s planned campaign of economic pressure against Tehran, accusing Washington of trying to make other countries follow its sanctions. He said secondary sanctions asserted US “extraterritorial sovereignty” and violated sovereign equality under the UN Charter. A 60-day US-Iran negotiating window expired without a final deal.
