Iran’s President criticized U.S. efforts to limit the country’s energy exports without addressing President Trump’s recent letter proposing talks with Supreme Leader Khamenei about Iran’s nuclear program. Key Iranian official Masoud Pezeshkian highlighted the difficulties faced during the winter, apologizing for power cuts and underscoring the need for energy supply improvements. He rejected U.S. claims of suffocating Iranian fuel exports, advocating for internal unity. Despite U.S. sanctions, Iran’s oil exports remain substantial, but economic turmoil persists. Pezeshkian announced a $17.5 billion investment to enhance energy infrastructure and called for increased renewable energy use to meet rising domestic demands.
