Pezeshkian says pressure on Iran at critical, dangerous stage
The Iranian president said the world is 'going through a period of unprecedented complexity' and warned that economic pressure only makes the situation worse.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has warned that pressure on his nation from the United States has reached a critical and dangerous point during his first visit to India. Pezeshkian, speaking ahead of a BRICS summit, argued that economic sanctions only serve to worsen the complexity of the world's current situation. The Iranian leader highlighted that Iran has endured severe sanctions for years, which have recently intensified following military aggression by the US and Israel in late February.
This aggression resulted in strikes against Iran, while Iran retaliated by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global energy transit and driving up prices. Pezeshkian emphasized that when a country faces political and military pressure on its trade, energy, infrastructure, and financial systems, the consequences ripple beyond its borders, impacting the entire international community. The Iranian president is set to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi later on Friday.
