Iranian Leaders Respond to New U.S. Sanctions Amid Ongoing Tensions
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other leaders have expressed resilience against new U.S. economic sanctions, asserting that such measures will not succeed as Iran has prepared for them over years. While Tehran calls for an end to the ongoing conflict with the U.S., diplomatic talks remain stalled amid tensions over control of the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claims the sanctions are pressuring Iran, citing Iranian officials' remarks about the war's unsustainability, though Iranian leaders publicly dismiss the sanctions' impact.
