Larijani further reaffirmed Iran’s support for the Lebanese people.

He also urged the Lebanese to distinguish a friend from a foe.

Speaking at the National Non-Oil Export Development Conference in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz on Thursday, Abdolnasser Hemmati emphasized that while Iran is actively combating money laundering and implementing regulations, it is unjust to face such accusations due to the blacklist status.

He warned that remaining on the blacklist legitimizes U.S. sanctions and creates global restrictions for Iranians.

Hemmati asserted that even countries like Russia and China avoid FATF blacklisting, emphasizing the need for Iran to navigate the complex international financial waters to safeguard its economic interests.

Meanwhile, the minister highlighted the Iranian government’s priority to facilitate exports, noting that despite severe sanctions, there are significant governance and economic management issues that need to be addressed.

Hemmati called for a predictable economy and reduced export regulations to improve the country’s export future.

He pointed out that Iran’s export volume, including oil, does not exceed $80-90 billion, whereas the top ten Asian countries average around $500 billion.

Discussing financial challenges, Hemmati mentioned the budget deficit, banking imbalances, and issues with pension funds, water, and energy as key obstacles impacting exports.

In an interview with Eslahat News outlet, Fazlollah Ranjbar commented on the 100-day performance of the administration, noting that critical issues like the slow pace of managerial changes and appointments, economic stability, and improving people’s livelihoods should be addressed.

The lawmaker said despite the government’s diligent efforts, many managerial positions in various provinces and levels remain unfilled, potentially leading to decreased employee motivation and dissatisfaction within ministries.

Ranjbar highlighted the government’s positive actions, such as the timely submission of the budget bill to parliament.

He said the parliament is also focused on these issues, recently discussing the government’s economic team and enhancing coordination among its members.

Regarding the internet filtering issue, Ranjbar stressed the need for transparency and honesty from the government.

He warned that inconsistent behavior and negative social effects could erode public trust if officials use restricted resources themselves.

Ranjbar also touched on the administration’s foreign policy, noting it has been successful in reducing tensions and strengthening relations with neighboring countries, which could benefit Iran in the long term.

In a meeting with director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi in Tehran on Thursday, President Pezeshkian stressed that Iran’s nuclear efforts are fully in line with the frameworks and legal authorizations of the IAEA.

“As we have repeatedly demonstrated our goodwill in the past, we express our readiness to cooperate and align with this international body to resolve any ambiguities and allegations concerning the peaceful nature of our nuclear activities,” he added.

His comments came just a day after European powers were reported to be pushing for a new anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA’s Board of Governors meeting next week.

The Iranian president highlighted a religious decree (fatwa) by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, prohibiting the building of nuclear weapons.

“According to the clear fatwa of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, we have never sought and will never seek to build nuclear weapons, and no one will be allowed to deviate from his policy,” he said.

Pezeshkian also said Iran does not seek war, but will strongly respond to any aggression.

“We believe that war is neither in our interest, nor in the interest of the region, nor in the interest of the world. No sane person seeks to start a war and develop it, but we will definitely react decisively against any action against our security.”

Grossi, for his part, praised Pezeshkian’s peace-oriented and consensus-driven approach during this meeting, expressing gratitude for the diligent cooperation of the officials of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the IAEA.

The UN nuclear agency’s chief then provided an overview of the positive relations and interactions between Iran and the agency.

“We deeply believe that your presidency will mark a new chapter in the positive and good relations between Iran and the IAEA,” Grossi told Pezeshkian.

“Certainly, good interaction and cooperation between Iran and the agency will neutralize any schemes against Iran’s nuclear activities,” Grossi stressed.
