Iran president says time to end war while in position of strength

Pezeshkian said stalled talks and sanctions show Iran can end the conflict without conceding to U.S. pressure.

  • On Friday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged an end to the months-long Middle East war, asserting that Tehran holds a "position of power and dignity" over the United States.
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed on Thursday that Washington would "collapse" the Iranian regime through economic pressure, marking a strategic shift away from military operations.
  • Tehran's foreign ministry denounced the planned measures as "economic terrorism" and "crimes against humanity," dismissing the so-called "Economic D-Day" as a diversion from America's debt and interest costs.
  • Beijing criticized the economic plan on Friday, as spokesman Lin Jian told reporters that "sanctions and pressure will not help resolve the issue," urging diplomatic solutions instead.
  • With Tehran maintaining a partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to discuss Iran at the White House on September 24.
