Baqaei also condemned US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's remarks about intensifying economic pressure, describing them as threats to starve Iranians through blockade. Iranian officials highlighted ongoing resilience against US sanctions, with the Finance Minister dismissing economic threats as ineffective amid continued trade growth.
