Iran's President Acknowledges Economic Struggles Amid US Sanctions
Iran's President Masoud Mammadzadeh (or Masoud Pezeshkian in another text) has publicly acknowledged that Iranians are facing significant economic problems, including inflation, unemployment, and subsistence issues. He attributed these difficulties to US President Donald Trump's policies, describing it as a 'full-scale economic, military, and security war'. The acknowledgment comes as the US has announced new sanctions to further isolate Iran's economy. Protests in recent years have been sparked by economic problems, with authorities reporting over 3,000 deaths in late 2018 unrest.2 sourcesSee all sources
