I have come to serve the people, and if the responsibility is on me, I must solve the problem.
Elchi.az reports with reference to Iranian media that this was stated by the President of the Islamic Republic, Masoud Pezeshkian.
Pezeshkian emphasized that the problems of all citizens should be solved: “Allah does not allow anyone to remain hungry and poor in society. We must not be indifferent to this.”
“If I cannot serve the people, I should not be in office,” Pezeshkian said.
It should be reminded that the economic situation in Iran has become tense after the 12-day war with Israel. Another reason is the suspension of Iran-US negotiations on the nuclear program due to the war. Thus, after that, Tehran faces more Western sanctions. Against the background of all this, on December 28, a protest action by those working in the bazaar started in Iran, especially in the capital Tehran, and the demonstrations have been going on for two days. There are also reports of clashes between security forces and protesters. However, no information is provided about those who died, were injured, or detained.
