Iran President Urges Unity Amid US Economic Pressure
Developing
In Short: Iran's President Pezeshkian calls for national unity as the US intensifies economic sanctions against Tehran.
The US has announced an 'Economic D-Day' against Tehran, implementing the toughest sanctions regime in history aimed at cutting off all economic lifelines to Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to reports.
In response, Iran's President Pezeshkian has urged national unity, stating that the economic measures will not force his government to make any abrupt policy shifts that could lead to further unrest in the country.
Meanwhile, the ongoing military confrontation between Iran and the US, which has significantly contributed to Iran's current economic decline, shows no sign of easing, according to new reports from Al Jazeera.
