Iran Press/ Iran news: Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in an address to a group of Iranian manufacturers and officials in the economic and industrial sectors in Tehran Sunday.
Referring to the failure of the US “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran, the leader said: “In this onslaught on the country’s economy, there were problems in people’s livelihoods, but production did not come to its knees, and a US State Department spokesman explicitly stated a few days ago that the policy of maximum pressure had led to the tragic defeat of the United States.”
He added the enemies are waging war against Iran’s economy to bring it to collapse and pit the people against the establishment.
“The goal of the enemies in this war has been the collapse of the Iranian economy; that was their intention. Now, the collapse of the economy was, of course, a prelude in order to set the people against the Islamic Republic by destroying the Iranian economy and to carry out their malicious political intentions in this way,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the entrepreneurs and workers' jihad in the production trenches led the United States to admit defeat in the economic war.
People should be informed about the successes
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that informing the people about the successes of economic activists through their own words is useful for confronting the enemy's psychological warfare.
Ayatollah Khamenei called production "jihad" and added that the resistance of producers to attacking the economy and the enemy's efforts to prevent the sale of oil and gas, cut off foreign exchange resources, and plan to block Iran's foreign exchange, is, in fact, jihad and one of the greatest acts of worship.
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed: "They saw the economic collapse of a few months as a precondition for achieving sinister political goals, but after ten years, the stronghold of production and the economy of the country remains, thank God."
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the surge in production would lead to improved economic indicators such as sustainable employment, booming exports, foreign exchange earnings, and lower inflation, as well as economic independence, which guarantees national dignity and security and increased national self-confidence.
The Leader said there had been companies and manufacturers who have not waited for the lifting of sanctions and the results of the negotiations, and with work and effort, have become successful examples.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the ability and knowledge of talented young people should be used in the field of knowledge-based large-scale industries, as everywhere, from the COVID vaccine to the precision-guided missile, young people who were trusted and asked to work really shone.
Before the speech of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, 14 activists from different sectors of production expressed their views and opinions.
