Iran's Pezeshkian says sanctions have cut trade by up to 35%

The Star

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on a video aired on Aug 28 that Iran's exports and imports had fallen by between 25% and 35%, pointing to the figures as evidence of the impact of sanctions on the country's economy.  Pezeshkian said Iran had exported nearly 90 million barrels of oil during a brief period when restrictions on its exports were eased, but said Tehran was no longer able to maintain those sales.  The United States held off further negotiations to finalise the memorandum of understanding on ending its conflict with Iran and unleashed Operation Economic Outcast on the Iranian regime.

00:00and the group that they are talking to us.

00:05They sent a route to my dear friend,

00:08which was a successful route.

00:09It was a successful route.

00:11It was a successful route.

01:00and in the next video,

01:02you should also look at me

01:04and see what I mean.

01:07This is what I have to say.

01:11This is what I'm going to say.

01:14This is how I am going to do it.

01:15I have to say it in the same way.

01:15I have to say it,

01:17and I have to say it in my opinion,

01:19and I have to say it,

01:22and I have to say it.

01:24But in the sense of the issue,

01:29In the period of time, we can use oil to sell in the past.

01:36We have a lot of money that we have in the past 90 million dollars of oil in the same

01:40time.

01:44Because of this, we have not been able to sell it before.

01:47We have to sell it and we have to get rid of the dirt.

01:51But we can't do this.

01:5325-35% of the money we have.

02:21As recently announced, the U.S. military has achieved a major milestone

02:25in the Strait of Hormuz.

02:27We have successfully cleared sea mines in the straits' international shipping lanes

02:32that were laid months ago by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

02:37The circumstances were challenging and dangerous to say the least, but we got the job done.

02:42Bottom line, today, international shipping lanes are open and momentum is building.

02:47CENTCOM forces have demonstrated time and time again that we are laser-focused on this

02:53mission.

02:53We remain vigilant, lethal, and resolved.

03:03The GCC countries, the impact of this war on them is uneven.

03:07So you have countries like Sixth Monsoon, like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Oman, they have growth

03:13in their economies.

03:15But other countries like Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, they don't have that.

03:19Their economies have paid the ultimate price, and probably this would continue for the foreseeable

03:26future.

03:27Well, I think Iran can obviously resist and they can survive these sanctions, but not for

03:32long.

03:32The Iranian economy is already strained under a lot of pressure.

03:36And the people of Iran have had waves of demonstrations before.

03:40They will crack down with a lot of force.

03:42But there is no hope for the Iranian people that the near future would bring them some kind

03:47of relief.
