Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said there will not be any issues in Armenia regarding Iran’s ban on the export of food products amid the ongoing war.

“I want to emphasize that the Republic of Armenia itself is a food-exporting country. We export tens of thousands of tons of food to other countries, so there is no problem there,” he said at a press briefing when asked about the possible impact of Iran’s export restrictions.

Addressing a question about potential inflationary effects in Armenia amid the ongoing war in Iran, Pashinyan stressed:

“As for inflation, there are relevant state bodies that conduct daily monitoring, and if necessary, measures will be taken.”

The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East. Iran halted food exports amid the escalating conflict.
