Iran's president says many are struggling for food
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said many Iranians are struggling to afford food as the war takes its toll. He called for an end to what he described as a state of "neither war nor peace." Separately, Iran asked India for a direct air route to fly in medicines, which India has not allowed because of US sanctions.
Why it matters
Ordinary Iranians are bearing the cost of war and sanctions through food and medicine shortages.
Background
Iran has faced US sanctions for years, and the war has added pressure on its economy. India says medicines can reach Iran through a third country.
