— 🇮🇷 Continuation of the message by Iran’s Supreme Leader:

‘And among other important issues and topics is the application of technologies and innovations proposed by our young elite. Sometimes, timely use of this advantage and abandoning the usual routine and customary habits in a matter makes effective leaps in the path of progress and excellence of the country. This is conceivable in various branches of power production, including agriculture and industry, culture and education, communication and social affairs.

Among the other fundamental issues of the country that must always be at the center of attention is observing unity and caring for social cohesion. Every action in each of the cultural, social, political, security, and macro-economic areas must be taken with consideration of the attachment related to social cohesion. Some measures that may appear to have supporters among some segments of the country, if they lack this appendix or if what is formulated as an appendix in that case is neglected as an action, can cause harm to those segments and others.

Undoubtedly, any disappointing speech and weakening of national and public cohesion and any kind of imaginary contradictions such as war or negotiation, consensus or extremism, compromise or war-mongering that has caused direct or indirect damage to our beloved people in the past can have the same effect from now on.

Therefore, I firmly declare that committing anything that is detrimental to social cohesion is prohibited.

And among other important issues, is the trans-strategic attention to the issue of culture, education and upbringing. The term trans-strategic means that the formulation of other strategies must be done with this issue in mind. In this regard, it is of particular importance to pay attention to the groups that are the source of spreading positive and constructive culture, such as teachers in education, universities, and seminaries, as well as nurses and doctors who have dedicated themselves to performing their duties in non-private institutions; just as it is to pay attention to the role of housewives who teach the most delicate elements of the beautiful and desirable culture of the future to each and every child of this land and region in the privacy of their homes.

It is hoped that the implementation of these and other useful materials that can be found, thank God, in the list of government programs will lead our beloved country towards an ever stronger Iran and make those active in this path worthy of the special attention of Imam Mahdi, may God hasten his return.’

—❗️🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, gives his thoughts on the economy:

‘The dear people of Iran, who have revealed their true caliber in the past six months in various manifestations of jihad with the enemy, their presence in the streets, their solidarity, empathy and companionship, deserve to feel the service of the responsible branches and institutions in the Islamic Republic on the path to achieving the desired level of this sacred system and the high dignity of the nation.

Of course, what I will state now is already at the center of attention of the government, and mentioning it here is merely a reminder:

Among the necessities is the need to pay serious attention to the chain of economic-livelihood challenges such as inflation, unemployment, price management and the market for goods and services, and special attention to some other elements of the economy such as GDP growth, increasing investment and directing it towards useful and essential areas, production boom, gradual abandonment of the dollar, and ultimately, placing the economy at the center of a set of resistance economy policies.

The main key in this regard to solving all these issues is to rely more and more on domestic production.

Of course, establishing a sufficient level of public and specialized goods is a definite necessity, considering which, in cases where domestic production is not sufficient, imports should be used correctly and wisely.

Naturally, encouraging production and at the same time managing imports and prices can lead to a situation where the dark spots that are showing themselves on the country's economic page gradually become smaller and smaller until they disappear completely. In this scene, although the enemy's behavior (sanctions etc.) during and after the war is not without an effect, the more intelligent management of the components of this field and seeking help in some cases from individuals and in others from specialists and technologists and realizing new capacities will lead the country towards expansion and prosperity.

The sworn enemy of this nation [United States] tries to suggest that the path to prosperity and progress passes only through obedience to him and his ridiculous demands, while observing what they have brought upon this country and its resources in past periods, even years before the Islamic Revolution, shows the opposite.‘

— 🇮🇷 Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei:

‘The first week of Shahrivar (current Iranian month) every year is an occasion to pay attention to the services of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This year, the government is proud that the days of Government Week coincide with the days of the blessed and beneficent birth of Prophet Muhammad and Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq, peace be upon them.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank all the active employees and managers of the government branches, especially the honest and compassionate President.

Especially with regard to the worthy measures that, despite the various plots and conspiracies of the American-Zionist enemy and the intensification of sanctions and the naval blockade, they have taken during the Third Imposed War and afterwards, in the direction of providing goods and services needed by the people, repairing important damaged points, and managing energy needs.

It is also appropriate to honor the memory of the martyred Presidents Rajaee and Raisi, the martyred Prime Minister Bahonar, and the martyred employees, managers, and ministers in all different periods of government, and above all, our great martyred Leader who himself also served as the President for nearly two terms, and to ask for the highest rank and divine blessings for them.

The opportunity to serve the people and the goals of the Islamic Republic is a valuable blessing that must be cherished. In the current era and the serious and complex conditions that an increasingly strong Iran faces, one of the essential things to achieve this goal, in addition to round-the-clock efforts and continuous initiative, is to explain and narrate the power and strength of Iran and its beloved nation.

Weakness, shortcomings, and deficiencies do not require narration and highlighting; rather, they require planning and action to resolve and solve the problem. Sometimes, honestly expressing one’s weaknesses when the enemy needs morale is a great help to him and may even cause concern in the hearts of friends and companions, causing them to wander and bewilder.

Yes, if the only listeners to these honest statements are our own people and sympathizers, the problems will be reduced. However, the strength, power and positive aspects, in accordance with the Quranic teaching {And as for the grace of your Lord, then it will be narrated}, need to be narrated and highlighted.’

Egyptian banks helping Iran evade sanctions…

Maybe we underestimated Medman.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇦🇪/🇪🇬 U.S. Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent:

‘Treasury promised to sever every economic lifeline Tehran has left and finally end the threat of the Iranian regime. We also warned that Iran’s enablers cannot continue to enjoy access to the U.S. dollar and the global financial system.

Banque Misr UAE decided to find out the hard way, and today, we are taking the first step in holding it accountable for its continued, egregious support of the Iranian regime.

—❗️🇺🇸//🇷🇺 BREAKING: U.S. Patriot interceptor stockpiles in Europe are at ‘beyond critical’ levels due to the Iran war, according to AP

A senior U.S. official said that in the event of a Russian ballistic missile attack on a military headquarters or power plant for example, NATO would be in a similar position to Ukraine and be forced ‘to take punch after punch in the mouth’.

In Europe, the American military ‘definitely’ does not have enough Patriots to stop any sustained ballistic missile attack and would have ‘very limited’ capability to defend against a single ballistic missile strike or a stray Russian missile that goes off course, the U.S. official said to the Associated Press.
