BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 18. President of Iran
Masoud Pezeshkian has blamed sanctions imposed by the United States
for the Iranian people's hardships, Pezeshkian wrote on his X page,
Trend reports.
"If the people of Iran face hardship and difficulties in their
lives, one of the main reasons for it is the longstanding enmity
and inhumane sanctions imposed by the United States government and
its allies.
Any aggression against the Supreme Leader of our country is
tantamount to all-out war against the Iranian nation," he said.
The protests, which erupted in late December in Iran, were
primarily triggered by the sharp depreciation of the national
currency, escalating inflation, and various other economic
hardships. While casualty reports have been circulating, the exact
figures remain undisclosed.
