Iran's Pezeshkian admits rising economic pressure, unveils new government plan

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged that economic pressure on the country has intensified due to sanctions and announced a new government plan to manage the situation. Pezeshkian said the government has adopted a "new arrangement for managing these special conditions" without providing details. He accused Iran's adversaries of targeting vital sectors to increase pressure on the Iranian people. The president claimed the government, with public support, has prevented the goals of what Tehran calls an "economic war" from being achieved. Rising living costs and pressure on the national currency remain key problems for Iranian society.
