Iran: US Sanctions as Deadly as War, Killing Half a Million

Iran: US Sanctions as Deadly as War, Killing Half a Million

Imagine countries not getting along, so they stop trading and put rules to make it harder for each other.

Iran's Foreign Minister says that the rules that the US uses are hurting people.

They say a study found that these rules are causing as many deaths as a war, with about 500,000 people dying each year.

Most of those who die are kids and old people.

Iran thinks this is very unfair and is asking other countries who have the same rules to work together to fix it.

The study also suggests that these types of rules might not be a good way to deal with other countries.
