Khamenei Shifts Iran’s Parliamentary Focus to Economic Recovery
As Iran navigates the volatile aftermath of recent military conflicts, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a clear mandate to the Twelfth Majlis to pivot toward national economic consolidation. In a recent address marking the parliament’s third year, Khamenei urged lawmakers to prioritize urgent fiscal reforms, specifically targeting inflation, liquidity management, and the revitalization of domestic production. He emphasized that the legislative body must act as the backbone of the country's recovery efforts, ensuring that government policies are aligned with modernizing the economy and easing the financial burden on the Iranian people.
Beyond fiscal strategy, Khamenei issued a stern call for national unity, warning that external adversaries are actively seeking to exploit social divisions to undermine Iran’s stability following the recent regional tensions. He specifically called upon political and intellectual elites to move past trivial differences, arguing that social cohesion is the nation's most effective defense against foreign pressure. This domestic push for stability coincides with a period of heightened regional volatility, highlighted by recent reports of ballistic missile exchanges and drone activity involving U.S. and regional forces, underscoring the delicate balance Iran must maintain as it attempts to stabilize its economy amidst ongoing geopolitical friction.
