Enemy has targeted Iran’s economy: Iranian military advisor

TEHRAN, Sept. 24 (MNA) - Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the top advisor to the Supreme Leader, said on Monday that the enemies have targeted Iran’s economy, the Sepah news reported. At the current situation the nature of threats to national security has changed and it is necessary to find about the strategy of extra-regional powers, especially the United States, because “today the enemy has targeted the national economy and by applying sanctions it is doing a great injustice to the grand nation of Iran,” Safavi told a gathering of military forces in Ardebil. Safavi also said armed forces should play a role in the resistance economy. In a meeting with a number of the country’s officials on July 25 the Supreme Leader said the creation of a “resistance economy” is the best way to deal with the economic pressure being exerted on the country.
