Pezeshkian says enemy's economic war objectives have failed

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the objectives of what he described as the enemy's economic war against Iran have not been achieved, according to a social media post cited by Mehr News Agency.

In the post, Pezeshkian said the government has adopted a new arrangement to manage the country's special conditions. He stated that the enemy's plan in recent months has been to cut the country's vital arteries with the aim of pressuring the Iranian people.

The president acknowledged that economic pressure has increased, but said that with public support and the measures taken by government colleagues, the enemy's objectives in the economic war have not been allowed to be realised.

The statement did not specify which external parties were being referred to as the enemy, nor did it detail the specific measures the government has taken under the new arrangement. It also did not provide figures or timelines for the economic conditions described.

Pezeshkian's remarks come amid ongoing economic pressure on Iran, which he linked to efforts by external actors to target the country's key economic sectors. He framed the government's response as dependent on both public backing and administrative action.

The post was reported by Mehr News Agency (MNA), which carried the president's comments without additional details on the policies or the nature of the economic measures mentioned.
