Ghalibaf says US misreading Iran’s resilience under economic pressure

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the United States of trying to create divisions inside Iran and force the country into “surrender” through economic and media pressure.

“The enemy is very hopeful about economic pressure, and it is clear that they have once again received false reports, and based on these reports, they have made wrong decisions,” Ghalibaf said in remarks carried by the IRGC-linked Fars news agency.

Ghalibaf also said that regardless of the scale of economic pressure, “the Iranian nation will endure … for the sake of independence.”
