Iran’s president claims that economic, rather than military warfare, is the key battleground in its conflict with the United States, and will be the deciding factor in who ultimately claims victory in the war.
Speaking at the Tehran Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, President Masoud Pezeshkian told those in attendance: “The main battleground today is the economic war.
“We believe the more capable, agile, and active the private sector is, the stronger the country’s economic foundation will become, and the greater our national power will be in the face of external pressures and threats.”
Pezeshkian said that after failing to defeat Iran militarily, the US and Israel are now attempting to cripple the country’s economy.
“After failing to achieve its objectives on the military front, the enemy has focused on damaging the country’s economic resilience and disrupting the livelihoods of the people,” he added.
