Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that U.S. sanctions imposed on his country are inflicting tangible damage on the Iranian economy, coming just days after he claimed that the measures would achieve no results. In an interview broadcast on state television on Friday, Pezeshkian addressed arguments dismissing the sanctions' impact, stating that he was at a loss for how to respond to such claims and emphasizing that Iran is in a war situation and must accept the conditions imposed by war.
​The president's comments come after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent presented plans earlier in the week aimed at suffocating the Iranian economy, accompanied by warnings of severe consequences for countries that continue conducting trade with Tehran.
​These latest measures build upon the broader sanctions framework maintained by the United States and its allies against Tehran since 2018, following former U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement during his first term in office.
