WorldIran denies collapse is near as US says IRGC is running out of money

Iranian authorities acknowledge that US sanctions and the war have created financial challenges, but reject claims that the country cannot support regional allies. They say they want the US blockade and pressure lifted on their terms. US Central Command chief Brad Cooper says attacks and a naval blockade have severely hurt Iran, blocking at least $25bn in crude exports and freezing about $350m in cryptocurrency assets. Tehran insists the strain will not weaken its resolve.
