Iran's President Warns of Food Struggles as US-Iran Conflict Strains Economy

gulfnews.com —

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that many Iranians are struggling to afford food due to economic strain from the ongoing US-Iran conflict, as Washington shifts toward economic pressure. The US has reduced military operations in recent weeks, favoring economic measures, while Iran insists peace talks require an end to threats. Tehran has retaliated with attacks on US assets and restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. A Pakistan-mediated ceasefire collapsed in mid-June, with both sides trading blame. US ambassador Tom Barrack warned Friday that strikes on Iran could resume as soon as this weekend, amid fears of renewed fighting.
