Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has underscored the need to tackle the country's current economic challenges, as the Islamic Republic comes under mounting pressure from sanctions and domestic problems.
According to initial reports, Pezeshkian made the remarks at a meeting or event related to economic governance, though the source did not specify the time, location or details of what was said.
Iran's newly elected president is expected to confront a series of problems including high inflation, unemployment, a weakened national currency and the prolonged impact of international sanctions.
In earlier statements, Pezeshkian pledged to improve the economy and promote dialogue to ease tensions with foreign powers, but he has yet to unveil a detailed plan.
The latest development shows economic priorities remain at the top of the Tehran government's agenda during a period of transition and policy formulation.
