Iranian agencies: Trump's economic threats a repeat of failed 'pressure campaign'

Two Iranian news agencies, Tasnim and Fars, describe Trump's statements about an 'economic war' on Iran as a repeat of the failed 'maximum pressure' campaign. Tasnim called the statements 'exaggerated', asserting previous sanctions failed. Fars described them as 'illusory' and considered them repeated American propaganda and psychological warfare.

Two Iranian news agencies, Tasnim and Fars, described on Thursday US President Donald Trump's statements about waging an 'economic war' on Iran as a repeat of the 'maximum pressure' campaign that Washington failed to achieve its goals. Tasnim said Trump's statements represent a continuation of the US pressure policy, calling them 'exaggerated', and asserting that previous sanctions did not succeed in changing Iran's behavior. The agency noted that Tehran managed to circumvent trade and financial restrictions. Meanwhile, Fars described Trump's statements as 'illusory', considering them part of repeated American propaganda. It added that Washington has been making claims about Iran's 'imminent collapse' without achieving tangible results. The agency viewed these claims as 'nothing more than psychological warfare' that do not reflect reality on the ground. The article relays the assessment of the two agencies without adding independent analysis or context.
