TEHRAN: Iran’s agriculture minister, Gholamreza Nouri, stated that the US naval blockade has had minimal impact on the country’s ability to supply basic goods and food.
He said Iran produces about 85% of its agricultural products domestically, ensuring food security. He also added that the country can import goods through multiple land borders, reducing reliance on sea routes.
The United States imposed the blockade on April 13, shortly after a ceasefire in the conflict with Iran. Iran has condemned the move, calling it a violation of the ceasefire.
