Iran's President Vows Progress Despite Foreign Pressure During Khuzestan Visit

During a visit to the city of Andimeshk in Khuzestan province, president Raisi added that the Iranian people themselves will resolve existing problems and nullify and lift sanctions against the country.

He highlighted the province's significant sacrifices and resistance in the years of the Sacred Defense and called on officials to fulfill their responsibility toward the people of Khuzestan.

He also mentioned that the government is working in collaboration with the people to advance the country's progress in economic, social, and cultural fields.

President Raisi told reporters at the Khuzestan airport on Thursday that the southwestern province of Khuzestan is the front line of defending the Islamic Republic of Iran. He then emphasized the need to address fundamental infrastructure issues, such as improving wastewater and sewage facilities and solving the problem of youth unemployment in the province.

Raisi’s Khuzestan visit is part of his provincial tours since he assumed office in August 2021. The tour aims to address issues and resolve problems in different provinces. He noted that his second trip to Khuzestan is dedicated to pursuing the implementation of previous plans and ensuring that all needs have been met. The president reassured the public that Iran has a bright future ahead and that foreign attempts to create hopelessness and pessimism would not be successful.
