He further called for active participation from entrepreneurs in overcoming production barriers and improving the business environment, emphasizing that economic decisions should not exceed the community's tolerance. Economic policies, according to Pezeshkian, must have social attachments to align with the realities of society.

The President of Iran also addressed the government's efforts in managing the current situation and described the government's performance as satisfactory despite the complexities and difficulties. He announced that removing barriers and increasing interactions with neighboring countries have helped boost exports and imports. Pezeshkian stated: "Despite maritime restrictions, land routes for economic interactions with countries like Pakistan, Iraq, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan have expanded."
These statements come at a time when, due to international pressures, the Iranian economy is facing serious challenges. Air communications with neighboring countries have been disrupted, and financial and commercial exchanges are also encountering problems.
In conclusion, Pezeshkian emphasized the importance of dialogue and negotiations with America, stating that Iran will never flee from this process. His remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Iran and America, with the future of relations between the two countries shrouded in uncertainty.
