According to president.ir, Pezeshkian visited a mosque in Tehran on Sunday to review the implementation of a neighborhood- and mosque-centered governance initiative. During the visit, he was briefed on social networking efforts within local communities, the delivery of government services, and cultural and educational programs related to energy conservation and consumption reduction.

Pezeshkian stressed that reforming consumption patterns across all sectors, particularly in energy, is among the most important factors in strengthening the country’s economic resilience under current conditions.

He said energy consumption in some sectors far exceeds normal standards and noted that even under ordinary circumstances, consumption patterns needed to be corrected to prevent waste and improve resource efficiency. Given the country’s current situation, however, he described the issue as a vital and strategic necessity.

Highlighting the economic value of energy resources and the need for efficient management of national assets, the president said gas currently used to fuel power plants could generate substantial revenue for the country if domestic consumption were managed more effectively. He added that the resulting benefits could directly improve public welfare and living conditions.

Pezeshkian described avoiding unnecessary consumption and waste as a national and strategic responsibility.

He also accused Iran’s adversaries of attempting to pressure the country’s economy and create public dissatisfaction by disrupting energy supplies and public services.

“If we can manage and reduce electricity, gas and water consumption with public participation, in addition to neutralizing part of the economic pressure and conspiracies of enemies, it will also make it possible to administer the country in a stable and challenge-free manner,” he said.
