Iran’s Pezeshkian says new measures in place amid stricter sanctions

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the government has adopted a “new arrangement to manage these special conditions” amid US sanctions and a naval blockade. “The enemy’s plan in recent months has been to cut off the country’s vital arteries with the aim of pressuring the noble people of Iran”, the president said in a post on X. “Economic pressure has intensified, but by the grace of God, with the accompaniment of the people and the measures taken by our colleagues in the government, we have not allowed the enemy’s objectives in the economic war to be realised,” Pezeshkian added.
