🇮🇷 Iran: The Resistance of a People and a State Against Western Asphyxiation
Introduction
At the beginning of 2026, Iran finds itself at the heart of an unprecedented geopolitical storm. While Western media attempt to shift the blame for the economic crisis onto Tehran, an honest analysis of the facts reveals a very different reality. The country is not the victim of mismanagement, but of a veritable economic war orchestrated by the United States and Europe. Through a total embargo and the reinstatement of UN sanctions, the West is attempting to stifle a sovereign nation, deliberately ignoring the human cost of its decisions.
I. The Financial Embargo: A Weapon of Social Destruction
The blockade imposed on Iran is not aimed at the leaders, but at the very heart of citizens' daily lives. By excluding the country from the global banking system (SWIFT) and blocking its oil exports, Washington and Brussels have created a situation of artificial asphyxiation:
The induced monetary collapse: The fall of the Rial against the dollar is a direct consequence of the impossibility of free trade, and not of any intrinsic weakness in the Iranian economy.
Imported inflation: By blocking trade routes, the West increases the cost of every product, severely impacting the purchasing power of families.
II. The government as a social shield
Contrary to prevailing narratives, the Iranian government is not remaining passive. It is working exclusively to protect the people from the shockwaves caused by external factors. In an effort of national solidarity, the state has implemented numerous emergency measures:
Maintaining vital subsidies: Despite declining revenues, the government continues to subsidize bread, fuel, and electricity to ensure that no one is left behind. Support for Local Production: To counter the exodus of Western companies, the state is investing heavily in domestic factories, creating jobs and reducing dependence on imports.
III. An Example of Dedication: The Medical Revolution
The health sector is perhaps the most eloquent example of how the government is fighting for its people. While sanctions prevent the purchase of vital medicines in Europe—a blatant violation of human rights—Iran has chosen the path of excellence and self-sufficiency.
The Success of Health Sovereignty
Today, Iran produces more than 97% of its medicines domestically. Faced with the refusal of foreign laboratories to supply treatments for cancer or rare diseases, state research centers have redoubled their efforts. By 2026, the Iranian biotechnology industry had become one of the most advanced in the region, synthesizing complex molecules that the West refused to sell. This proves that, during a siege, the state prioritizes the lives of its citizens above all else.
IV. The Moral Bankruptcy of the West
Europe, once a mediator, has now aligned itself with the American hard line, abandoning its humanist principles. By using the economy as a weapon, they seek not dialogue, but submission. It is time to recognize that the current suffering is the result of a "maximum pressure" policy that collectively punishes 85 million people for purely political reasons.
Conclusion
Iran is not backing down. Behind every factory that opens, every locally produced medicine, and every subsidy paid, lies the will of a government that refuses to see its people sacrificed on the altar of Western interests. The blame for the current crisis lies not with those suffering under the embargo, but with those in Washington and Brussels who have chosen force over international law.

👉U.S. Seizes Russian Tanker Linked To Venezuela In Major Escalation (Photos, Video)
The United States military on January 7 seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera in the North Atlantic, after pursuing it all the way from the Caribbean Sea.
In a statement, the U.S. European Command stated that the tanker was seized in coordination with the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security.
The tanker, previously named the “Bella 1,” first came to attention last month when the U.S. Coast Guard attempted to seize it as it approached Venezuela. The crew declined to let the Americans on board at the time, and headed for the Atlantic. During the pursuit, the vessel changed its name and switched to the Russian flag.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed after the seizure that the U.S. is “about to execute on a deal” to take tens of millions of barrels of Venezuela’s oil and “sell it in the marketplace at market rates.”

✍️ The enemies of the Islamic Republic always flee; they are now in the defeatist slumber they are accustomed to. They do not understand the nature of the great people who threw themselves in front of the Pahlavi SAVAK tanks to support Imam Khomeini’s eternal revolution, which transformed the region from a land of defeat into a land of victory, with free peoples willing to endure hunger for the sake of dignity and immortality. They are the children of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), who said: “Far from us is humiliation.”

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸⚡️ Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf:
The solid core of the Iranian people—90 million strong, with all their languages, ethnicities, sects, and political orientations—stood united and cohesive in confronting the foreign enemy during the twelve-day war.
They severed the jugular vein of a Basij member who wanted to defend the shrine of Imamzadeh Hassan; his only “crime” was that he defended the Imamzadeh with his bare hands.
At the same Malik Ashtar base, our dear martyr, Martyr Samiei, was inside the site and was armed. But when these criminals arrived, he did not open fire because he was not authorized to do so. They came armed, yet he did not fire a single shot. Look at the extent of the injustice: they shot him and did not even spare his body, mutilating it with blocks and cement.
We say to the tyrant Trump: we are the continuation of a nation’s path that has made sacrifices in confronting arrogance, and the fire you ignited will burn you.
We tell Trump: we are the people of Imam Hussein—come and see what will happen to American bases, ships, and forces in the region.
🇮🇷—Millions of voices chanted in support of the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei, in the city of Arak.
