Iranian President Highlights Food Struggles Amid Ongoing Conflict with USPreviousNext

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that many Iranians are struggling to afford food due to ongoing wartime conditions amid the conflict with the United States and Israel. The war, which began in February with attacks killing Iran's Supreme Leader and senior commanders, has led to economic hardships worsened by U.S. blockades and restricted oil exports. Pezeshkian called for an end to the current stalemate described as a "state of neither war nor peace," while concerns about renewed military strikes persist.
