Iran has always been invaded by the arrogant powers in different fields after the Islamic Revolution, but because of people’s tight correlation to the Leader all of them failed such as coup, war, terrorism, cultural invasion, military strike on Iranian aircraft and ships, giving military, technical and intellectual aids to MKO (Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization), as well as failed direct entry in Tabas desert adventure and etc.
However, obvious evidences and overt intervening from the enemies show the focus and attempt to weaken Iran’s economic structures. In fact, enemies seek chances of probable weakness as a new opportunity against our country. They imposed multilateral economic sanctions so that the Leader of the Islamic Revolution interpreted the enemies’ strategy as “economic war”.
Definitely the purpose of the economic war is creating dissatisfaction among people [who are the main supporters of the regime] through economic pressures and increasing public discontent because of inflation, unemployment and welfare decrease, undermining economic and political foundations, and destroying the Islamic Republic model in the world as a religiously efficient system.
In this regard, the Leader, with his world knowledge and scholarly wisdom, identified the enemies’ strategy and introduced the idea of resistance economy as the only solution against enemies’ measures. A strategy that the country’s economy can be passed from dangerous path successfully in short-term and it can prepare the grounds for economic progress and development more than before, eliminate shortcomings, and change Islamic Republic into a model for all Muslim and non-Muslim countries in the region and the world in long-term.
However, it should be considered that explaining various obvious and hidden aspects of resistance economy by the elites and academic community, pathology of weaknesses and vulnerabilities of Iran’s economy, strategies to strengthen the country’s economic infrastructure, encouraging people to participate in economic and cultural issues, measuring and monitoring the process minute by minute, strengthening infrastructures in the country, and paying attention to the knowledge-based products are the necessities of this economic model. It is hoped that important steps to be taken in the realization of this economic model with empathy, compassion and cooperation of the people and the officials under the Leader’s guidance.
