Pezeshkian Administration Unveils Bold Strategy to Counter U.S. Maximum Pressure, Says Spokesperson

In response to the United States’ “maximum pressure” campaign, the Iranian administration led by President Masoud Pezeshkian is implementing an active plan designed to strengthen the nation’s economy and bolster its resilience. Spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani shared these insights during a press briefing after a weekly cabinet meeting in Tehran.

Mohajerani expressed confidence that the U.S. strategy “will get nowhere,” stating that Iran had anticipated such actions from the Washington administration. She emphasized the administration’s commitment to overcoming current challenges with the support of the Iranian people.

Key points from Mohajerani’s remarks include:

• The administration is focused on boosting the economy through a comprehensive strategy.
• There is a notable improvement in the private and industrial sectors compared to previous decades.
• Knowledge-based companies in Iran are actively contributing to economic growth.
• The government aims to leverage domestic capabilities and enhance relations with neighboring countries to counteract the effects of the U.S. pressure policy.

Moreover, Mohajerani highlighted that while Iranians support negotiations, they will not succumb to intimidation. This stance comes in light of recent announcements from U.S. President Donald Trump, who indicated his intention to reinstate the “maximum pressure” policy, which he originally enacted during his first term after withdrawing from the Iranian nuclear deal in 2018.

As the situation evolves, the Pezeshkian administration remains committed to navigating these turbulent waters with resilience and strategic planning.
