President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iranian exports and imports had fallen nearly 35% because of U.S. sanctions and the naval blockade. Reuters reported annual inflation reached 66% in the previous month; Pezeshkian later called for reviving the June memorandum.

Verification: Probable

Evidence: Iranian president says foreign trade down 35% due to sanctions and blockade

Reuters attributes the trade figure to Pezeshkian’s state-media remarks and reports the annual inflation figure; the live theater already has a separate event for his call to revive the memorandum.
