Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has lashed out at the US for its economic pressure campaign against the country, as tensions continue to escalate in the region. Despite the US's efforts to strangle Iran's economy through sanctions, oil prices have surged to record highs, and a standoff at the strategic Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved. Ghalibaf's scathing comments come as Iran faces a severe economic crisis, with the rial plummeting in value and widespread shortages of food and medicine. As the US maintains its "maximum pressure" campaign, Ghalibaf's remarks suggest that Iran remains defiant in the face of international pressure, but the consequences of this standoff are becoming increasingly dire.
