Pezeshkian Administration Unveils Dynamic Strategy to Combat U.S. Maximum Pressure, Says Spokesperson

In the face of the United States’ “maximum pressure” campaign, the Iranian government, led by President Masoud Pezeshkian, is implementing an active plan to bolster its economy and strengthen its resilience. Spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani made these remarks during a press conference after a cabinet meeting in Tehran.

Mohajerani expressed confidence that the U.S. campaign “will get nowhere,” noting that Iran had anticipated such aggressive policies from Washington. She highlighted key strategies that the Pezeshkian administration is adopting:

  • Boosting the Economy: The administration is committed to enhancing economic stability through various initiatives.
  • Support from the People: Mohajerani emphasized the importance of public support in overcoming current challenges.
  • Strengthening the Private Sector: The spokesperson pointed out that both the private and industrial sectors are performing better than in previous decades.
  • Encouraging Knowledge-Based Companies: There is a strong focus on the activity and growth of knowledge-based enterprises.
  • Leveraging Domestic Capacities: The government aims to utilize local resources and capabilities effectively.
  • Building Relations with Neighbors: Strengthening ties with neighboring countries is a crucial part of their strategy.

Furthermore, Mohajerani affirmed that while Iranians advocate for negotiations, they will not succumb to intimidation tactics. This statement comes in light of recent developments; U.S. President Donald Trump, who began his second non-consecutive term on January 20, has declared his intention to reinstate the “maximum pressure” policy initially implemented during his first term after the U.S. exited the Iranian nuclear deal in 2018.

As the situation evolves, the Pezeshkian administration remains determined to navigate these turbulent times with resilience and strategic foresight.
