In a recent interview reported by the state-run IRNA news agency, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed the current state of the Iranian economy in the face of international sanctions. Pezeshkian asserted that the United States has exerted "maximum" economic pressure on the nation, suggesting that these measures were intended to trigger a collapse of the Iranian state.

Beyond the broader economic impact, Pezeshkian specifically highlighted damage to Iran’s energy infrastructure. He claimed that Iran is losing approximately 230 million cubic meters of gas daily as a direct result of what he described as "US-Israeli attacks." While the President framed these losses as part of a coordinated campaign against Iran, he did not provide specific details regarding the nature or timing of these alleged attacks.

The statements reflect the ongoing tension between Tehran and Washington, as the Iranian government continues to link its domestic economic challenges to external foreign policy actions. The claims regarding infrastructure damage represent a specific escalation in the rhetoric used by the Iranian leadership to characterize the impact of international pressure. To date, there has been no official response from the United States or Israel regarding the specific allegations of infrastructure sabotage mentioned by the President.
