Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday said the “United States will achieve nothing” with its new round of economic sanctions, local media reported.
“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,” Pezeshkian said, according to ISNA news agency.
US 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.
