In a controversial move, Masoud Pezeshkhaani, the President of Iran, in strong and candid remarks at the BRICS 2026 Business Forum, elaborated on the dire consequences of the military wars of the US and Israel on Iran's economy. He emphasized that economic security cannot be separated from national and regional security, and these two issues are intertwined.
Consequences of Proxy Wars
Pezeshkhaani further stated that hostile and military actions against countries, especially Iran, directly impact the economic and livelihood infrastructure of the people. In his view, these approaches create conditions that lead countries' economies to a dangerous abyss and hinder progress and development.
The Necessity of Unity Against Threats
The President of Iran highlighted the challenges facing the country in dealing with external threats and stressed the need for unity among BRICS member countries. He believes that cooperation in economic and political fields can help strengthen national and regional security and resist military aggressions.
Pezeshkhaani also referred to Iran's role in regional and global developments, adding that despite existing challenges, his country will continue to develop and progress. He urged BRICS member countries to view Iran as a strategic partner and to collaborate in economic areas to improve the livelihood conditions of the people.
Ultimately, Pezeshkhaani's remarks at this forum reflect Iran's deep concerns about the repercussions of military wars and the need for international cooperation to strengthen economic and national security. These statements seem to resonate not only as Iran's voice but also as the voice of many countries affected by the military and economic policies of major powers.
