La vicepresidenta de Irán culpa al bloqueo de EE. UU. de la creciente presión económica

La vicepresidenta de Irán declaró que la economía estaba bajo presión a medida que se intensificaron las sanciones estadounidenses y el bloqueo naval, señalando la inflación desbordada, el aumento del desempleo, una caída de aproximadamente un tercio del comercio exterior y colas más largas en las estaciones de combustible. Estados Unidos anunció nuevas sanciones secundarias contra entidades que operan con activos digitales, oro, tecnología, aviación y transporte marítimo de Irán. Informes anteriores mostraron que el rial iraní cayó a un récord de alrededor de 2 millones por dólar, lo que encareció drásticamente los alimentos y medicamentos.

Las filas más largas en las gasolineras de Teherán reflejaron la creciente escasez de combustible, mientras un exasesor del banco central advirtió que la interrupción del comercio por parte de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos podría llevar la contracción del PIB a cerca del 5 %. Los funcionarios iraníes permanecieron divididos sobre el costo económico de la guerra, y el presidente Donald Trump dijo a Al Jazeera que no tiene un calendario para que Irán vuelva a las negociaciones.
