Iran Chamber of Commerce calls for unity against US economic pressure

Samad Hassanzadeh, head of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, called for national unity and pragmatic policymaking to neutralize the costs of the US-led economic war against Iran. He noted that the hostile US administration attempts to inflate transaction costs and disrupt supply chains to reduce Iran’s economic competitiveness. Hassanzadeh proposed forming a continuous foreign trade headquarters to diversify transportation corridors and strengthen risk management for high-risk shipping routes.

The economic pressure from the US administration is characterized by deliberate threats to maritime transport routes and unilateral coercive measures. The private sector has maintained production and employment despite these external pressures, but the proposed operational task force aims to streamline domestic operations and ease border formalities.
