Iran's president admits food access crisis amid US conflict

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian admitted that many citizens face difficulty accessing food due to economic pressure linked to the conflict with the United States. The conflict began February 28 with US and Israeli attacks that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran retaliated against US interests and Israel while restricting access to the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. A ceasefire attempt in mid-June failed, with sporadic attacks continuing since. Pezeshkian said Tehran needs to escape the "neither war nor peace" situation, as US officials warn strikes could resume this weekend ahead of November 3 midterm elections.
