TEHRAN, Aug. 16 (MNA) – The head of Presidential Center for Strategic Studies Hessam al-Din Ashna says that Iran has adopted an ‘active maximum resistance’ approach against the US maximum pressure policy.

“In the face of maximum pressure, Iran has adopted a strategy of active maximum resistance with a balanced use of political diplomacy, defense diplomacy, legal diplomacy, media diplomacy,” the head of Presidential Center for Strategic Studies Hessam al-Din Ashna posted on his Twitter account on Friday.
