Iran's President Dismisses New U.S. Sanctions
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said new U.S. economic sanctions would achieve nothing, asserting resilience despite Washington's plan for "economic asphyxiation" of Iran.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Wednesday that the United States would achieve nothing with its new round of economic sanctions, according to Iranian media.
"With the measures that the government's economic sectors have foreseen, America will not achieve anything with economic pressure at this stage, just as it was unable to achieve anything in the war," Mr. Pezeshkian was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.
The comments came days after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday laid out plans for the "economic asphyxiation" of Iran, warning of dire consequences for countries that do not join the campaign. The statements reflect ongoing tensions over the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's leaders have dismissed the impact of the new measures, noting the country has endured decades of crippling sanctions since shortly after the 1979 revolution.
