Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian held a seven-hour meeting to discuss the challenges facing the country, with the Supreme Leader emphasizing the preservation of unity and solidarity as his most important advice, according to the official IRNA news agency. The meeting focused on people's livelihoods, employment, housing, and problems arising from sanctions. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has imposed economic pressure measures instead of military action, stating that Iran is in a dire financial situation with high inflation and difficulties paying military salaries, while praising the US naval blockade since April that has increased such pressure. US Vice President JD Vance said the United States is using a variety of diplomatic, economic, and military tools to achieve the best outcome for the American people.
