Iran Says It Can Thrive Amid Blockade, U.S. and Allies Cannot

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Mohammad Reza Ghalibaf, told reporters in Tehran that the country can prosper even if a blockade is imposed by the United States and its allies. Ghalibaf said Iran’s economy is resilient and that it can adapt to external pressures.

The statement came amid growing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and the U.S. administration’s renewed sanctions. Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran’s strategic position and domestic resources would allow it to withstand any economic isolation.

The remarks were made during a press briefing in Tehran, reflecting Iran’s broader stance that it will not be deterred by external economic measures.
