Pezeshkian Warns Security Is Vital To Iran’s Economic Resilience
(MENAFN) Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Sunday that recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran have highlighted the difficulty of maintaining economic resilience without adequate security, warning that damage to economic and energy infrastructure can create consequences far beyond a country’s borders.
Speaking at the 18th BRICS Plus Summit, Pezeshkian said attacks against economic, energy and development infrastructure can quickly spread their effects across neighboring countries and contribute to wider regional and global instability.
He said Iranian civilians, including women and children, had suffered significant losses during the attacks, while infrastructure developed over decades to support the country’s economic growth had also sustained damage.
Pezeshkian also referred to the situations in Gaza and Lebanon, calling on BRICS to strengthen its role in protecting national sovereignty and territorial integrity while supporting the international principle prohibiting the use of force.
On economic relations, he urged BRICS members to increase trade conducted in their national currencies and strengthen the New Development Bank as a way to improve the bloc’s ability to withstand political and economic pressure.
The Iranian president also described BRICS as reflecting growing international support for a more balanced and inclusive global system, in which no single power should be entitled to “determine the fate of others.”
His remarks came during the final day of the two-day BRICS leaders’ summit in New Delhi, where member states and partner countries discussed resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.
The expanded BRICS grouping now consists of 11 members: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
The bloc adopted the New Delhi Declaration on Saturday, committing to greater cooperation with emerging economies, developing countries and BRICS partner states.
Pezeshkian’s comments came as the US-Iran conflict continues, with fighting since February involving attacks on Iranian military, energy and economic infrastructure, followed by Iranian retaliatory operations across the region.
