In a written statement, only his third since he took office following the death of his father earlier this month, Khamenei said the new Iranian year would be a year of “resilient economy”, in the “shadow of national unity” and “national security”.
Although Iran is involved in conflicts and faces airstrikes, the statement emphasized the need for stable relations in the region.
The war between Iran on the one hand and Israel and the United States of America on the other began three weeks ago. Israel and the US have launched attacks on Iranian military and nuclear targets, arguing that they want to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran retaliates with missile attacks on Israeli and American targets in the region, which includes a series of strikes on neighboring Gulf states such as Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain…
During the conflict, military installations, energy infrastructure and strategic facilities were affected, and tensions spilled over to key maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
