Iran ready for worst-case scenario in next 2 years: VP Aref

In comments published on Saturday, Iran's First Vice President Mohammadreza Aref stated that despite all the pressures and war conditions, the country has been administered without any shortages of goods. He attributed this achievement to the cooperation of the people and the market, including merchants and business people, with the administration of President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Aref further said that the government has planned for the next two years, even for the worst conditions. He stressed that maintaining tranquility for the people will continue to be the government's priority.

The remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions, including the war on Gaza, which have placed economic pressures on Iran. The vice president's comments reflect the government's efforts to reassure the public about economic stability and preparedness.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), Aref's statements were made in the context of the government's economic policies and its response to external challenges. The report did not provide additional details on the specific nature of the worst-case scenario planning.
