Event 5 condemns them as illegal under international law, while the new event asserts states' obligations to refrain from implementing them. They are part of the same coordinated diplomatic narrative against US economic pressure."
"The new event reinforces the stance taken in Event 8, where Iran condemned US sanctions as state terrorism. Both events are diplomatic assertions rejecting the legitimacy of US sanctions, forming a consistent pattern of rhetoric."
"Event 12 involves an Iranian envoy urging the UK to condemn US sanctions, while the new event broadly asserts that all states are obliged to refrain from implementing them. Both are diplomatic efforts to isolate the US sanctions regime internationally."
