Iranian President Says Country Prepared to Withstand US Sanctions

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that the government has taken new measures to withstand economic pressure from the United States, asserting that the country has not allowed enemies to achieve their goals in the economic war. Pezeshkian wrote on social media platform X that the government has adopted steps to respond to the special situation, noting that enemies have tried to cut off key arteries of the country in recent months. He acknowledged that economic pressure on Iran has indeed intensified. The United States has recently shifted from large-scale strikes on Iran to increasing sanctions pressure, hoping such measures will push Tehran to make concessions in negotiations on conflict resolution.
