Pezeshkian says Iran facing all-out economic war
“Today’s war is an economic one, not a war of bombs and missiles. We have missiles so that they dare not attack us. We do not have missiles to attack anyone”, the president said on Monday at a ceremony to honor people contributing to a plan aimed at jumping production on rainfed land, IRNA reported.
Pezeshkian also has emphasized the need for accelerating the completion of unfinished projects launched on joint foreign investment with foreign companies, especially the projects in the energy sector.
The president on Sunday evening chaired a meeting that assessed the latest status of joint foreign investment projects that have not been completed yet.
He said that all capacities, including those in neighboring countries, should be used to complete those projects. Ministers of oil and energy were among the participants at the meeting.
Meanwhile, Iran’s first vice president said on Monday that state-run bodies, especially the Supreme Economic Coordination Council and the Market Regulation Headquarters, are tasked with making decisions to improve the people’s living conditions and economic growth and prosperity, while also closely monitoring, coordinating and cooperating to ensure price stability and reduce inflation.
Mohammadreza Aref emphasized in the meeting of the Supreme Economic Coordination Council that the approval of the action plan for energy saving with the participation of the private sector will contribute to addressing the energy and electricity shortages in the country.
