Iranian political activist: "American sanctions strengthen extremist elements in the regime"

An Iranian political activist opposing the regime warns that continued American sanctions will strengthen extremist elements in Tehran. In an interview with Kan News, he claims that the economic pressure on the public does not affect the government and could lead to a dangerous path. Iran threatens countries that cooperate with the sanctions.

An Iranian political activist opposing the regime warned in a conversation with Kan News that continued American sanctions will strengthen extremist elements in the Iranian regime. According to him, the public is under economic pressure, but this has no direct impact on the government. He added that as conditions in the Islamic Republic become more difficult, it will be harder to subdue Iran, and things may "enter a path from which there is no return." Official Iran threatens countries that cooperate with the new sanctions imposed by the United States to isolate the regime and cut it off from the global economic system. On the Iranian street, voices of concern are heard about the possible consequences of the sanctions on the people. In recent days, several economic protests have occurred across Iran, but their scale is far from that of the January protests. US President Donald Trump wrote that Iran is killing protesters "at levels unseen before" and that this is a "humanitarian crisis of enormous proportions."
