Iran’s economy minister says the country has a “two-year plan” to respond to new US sanctions announced on Monday. Ali Madanizadeh tells state television that Iran is prepared to manage the impact of the measures and predicts the United States will face “another defeat.” He frames the sanctions as an attempt to test Iran’s resolve, which he says has failed previously.
Both outlets report the same statement from Madanizadeh, with limited additional detail provided about the specific components of the plan or the scope of the sanctions. NDTV and Middle East Eye focus on Iran’s confidence and the minister’s comments about resilience and readiness. Neither outlet, in the provided material, offers independent confirmation of the plan’s effectiveness or describes how US policymakers justify the new restrictions.
Overall, the coverage presents Iran’s official reaction to the latest US action, emphasizing a government timeline and expectations of retaliatory or mitigating measures over the coming two years, without elaborating on concrete economic steps.
