According to president.ir, Pezeshkian made the remarks Monday during a meeting with Ayatollah Hossein Shobeiri Zanjani in the city of Qom as part of his visit to the province.

The president said the government had prepared for extraordinary circumstances and potential external pressure, alleging that Iran's adversaries sought to disrupt the country's development by targeting critical infrastructure, including factories, gas production facilities, steel plants and petrochemical industries. He also said restrictions on Iran's oil exports were intended to increase unemployment and worsen economic conditions, but added that the country's development had continued.

Pezeshkian described the recent agreement as a significant victory for the Iranian people, saying it includes the lifting of sanctions on Iran's oil and petrochemical industries. He added that, alongside reconstruction efforts, the government is expanding social support measures, including increasing funding for the country's electronic food voucher program.

The president also announced that part of Iran's previously frozen financial assets will be released. He said $6 billion of the $12 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar will be returned to Iran under the current plan, while efforts are continuing to secure the release of the remaining funds.
