US Economic Pressure Could Have Adverse Effects on Iran’s Resolve

According to Saednews, In a post on a social media platform on Saturday, Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref addressed the recently intensified US economic pressure on Iran, stressing that the government would not allow what he described as “American economic terrorism” to undermine the country’s economic stability or threaten people’s livelihoods.

Aref said Iran’s experience since the Islamic Revolution has demonstrated that economic pressure cannot change the determination of the Iranian people.

He added that such pressure could instead produce the opposite effect and further strengthen public resistance.
