Iran's president says he is ready to cut office power to keep industry running

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said he is prepared to cut electricity to his own office if necessary to ensure the country’s production cycle continues.

Pezeshkian stressed in his remarks that halting production would not be permitted, despite pressures caused by a shortage of energy supplies.

The Iranian president called on officials to strengthen oversight and take action to address challenges facing the industrial sector.

Pezeshkian also emphasized that production facilities should be prioritized for energy access over other entities, as Iran’s economic crisis deepens.
