Warum es wichtig ist
Iran and the US have been in conflict, with the US imposing sanctions and conducting naval operations in the Persian Gulf region. The war has disrupted global economic activity, particularly energy markets.
Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the operational centre of the Islamic Republic's armed forces, warned of a “severe reaction” if the US continued its “naval blockade, maritime piracy and robbery in the region”. Iran's defence ministry also said that much of the country's missile strength remained intact and Iran produced more than 1,000 types of weapons of its own, according to the official Islamic Republic News Agency. Tehran issued the demands as US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and special envoy Steve Witkoff were expected to arrive in Islamabad for what is hoped to be further talks on Sunday to end a war that has upended the global economy.
