The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the entrepreneurs and workers' jihad in the production led the United States to admit defeat in the economic war.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized that the enemy's plots to conquer the production stronghold had failed and noted: "In this invasion of the country's economy, there were problems in people's livelihoods, but production did not fall to its knees, and the US State Department spokesman explicitly stated a few days ago that the policy of maximum pressure had led to the tragic defeat of the United States."
 
Ayatollah Khamenei called production "jihad" and added that the resistance of producers to attacking the economy and the enemy's efforts to prevent the sale of oil and gas, cut off foreign exchange resources, and plan to block Iran's foreign exchange, is, in fact, jihad and one of the greatest acts of worship.
 
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed: "They saw the economic collapse of a few months as a precondition for achieving sinister political goals, but after ten years, the stronghold of production and the economy of the country remains, thank God."
 
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the surge in production would lead to improved economic indicators such as sustainable employment, booming exports, foreign exchange earnings, and lower inflation, as well as economic independence, which guarantees national dignity and security and increased national self-confidence.
 
The Leader said there had been companies and manufacturers who have not waited for the lifting of sanctions and the results of the negotiations, and with work and effort, have become successful examples.
 
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the ability and knowledge of talented young people should be used in the field of knowledge-based large-scale industries, as everywhere, from the COVID vaccine to the precision-guided missile, young people who were trusted and asked to work really shone.
 
Before the speech of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, 14 activists from different sectors of production expressed their views and opinions.
