Iran plans to take action after US President Donald Trump made clear that inflicting economic pressure<\/a> is part of Washington\u2019s latest strategy, Iran\u2019s semi-official Mehr news agency reported Monday.<\/p>\n

First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref ordered \u201cintensified market supervision\u201d and said \u201cinspection bodies should deal seriously with overpricing, underweight selling and hoarding,\u201d reported Mehr.<\/p>\n

He also announced that a central market oversight headquarters would start with offering guidance, which would move to legal action if violations continued, the outlet added.<\/p>\n

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a Newsmax interview the US is going to apply measures that have \u201cnever been seen\u201d<\/a> on Iran, indicating Washington will continue to economically isolate the country and blockade its ports.<\/p>\n

His comments came after Trump signaled plans to choke Iran economically<\/a>. \u201cWe are only semi-negotiating with (Iran). We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref attends a meeting in Moscow, Russia on November 17, 2025.
