Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in significant and thought-provoking remarks, stressed the necessity of ensuring security as a fundamental condition for the safety of infrastructure. He stated: "In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil" and this sentence clearly illustrates the dependence of security and economy in Iran and the Middle East.
The Role of Security in Infrastructure Development
Ghalibaf, referring to current security challenges, emphasized that without ensuring security, no investment or development in infrastructure will be possible. He added: "If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe." These remarks clearly reflect the serious concerns that the country's officials have in this regard and highlight the necessity of creating a secure environment for growth and progress.

Economic Dependence on Security
Furthermore, the Speaker pointed out that security is vital not only for countries but also for the region's economy. He noted that the security and stability in Iran could have a direct impact on global oil prices and also on the economies of neighboring countries. According to Ghalibaf, the lack of security in Iran could lead to a decrease in oil sales and ultimately to economic recession in the region.
These statements come at a time when the Middle East is heavily affected by tensions and security crises, and instability in one of the key countries can have widespread repercussions for other countries. Therefore, ensuring security as a prerequisite for economic and social development must be prioritized.
In this regard, the country's officials must seek solutions that not only ensure security but also facilitate investment and infrastructure development. This requires international cooperation and efforts to create a safe and stable environment. In the current situation, active and intelligent diplomacy can play an effective role in ensuring security and improving the country's economic situation.
