On March 21, Iranians will celebrate Nowruz (New Year) and beginning of the New Year and opening of a new chapter in their lives. The current year 1401 is reaching its end while Iranians witnessed many ups and downs and many achievements and failures, and now it is expected people to have a promising year if they remain united and trust the officials who are working hard to bring unity and economic prosperity for the nation.

We can divide this year into two parts of post-eliminating official forex rate and post-Mahsa Amini death riots that both of them unbalanced the progress of the country and let the enemies take advantage of it to provoke people against the Islamic Revolution and its officials.

First in May, the government decided to have an economic surgery to treat the ailing economy and it eliminated preferential rate dollar which was sold for 4200 tomans for the imports and basic foods. In other words the government decided to reduce rent-seeking because of the cheap price dollar but it led to a sudden rise in the prices and also inflation because the goods and raw materials were forced to be imported with the new forex rate which was almost 4 times more than the preferential rate. Of course the government decided to increase the cash handouts to the people to help them to overcome the price hike. But the prices soared and gradually the government managed to control the pace of the price hike.

While the government was trying to bring peace and tranquility to the market, suddenly death of a young girl called Mahsa Amini happened which led to first protests but later to riots in September. The riots almost continued five months and it helped the enemies to manipulate the forex market and suddenly the price of each dollar from 28,000 tomans jumped to almost 60,000 tomans but some actions taken by the government could quieten the forex market and the price of dollar felled to around 42,000 tomans and it seems the government is controlling the condition and we may have a promising year next year if the current policies continue properly.

President Seyed Ebrahim Raisi has promised a better life in the next year and promised more successes for the nation.

Of course, the country despite such ups and down has continued its progresses regardless of those unhappy incidents. Everyday a new achievement in any sector was unveiled which showed that if Iranians decide to do something, they will make it and unveiling of military production achievements has always been on the spotlight but scientific achievements have sometimes gone unnoticed.

As we know every year the Supreme Leader chooses a name for the year to direct the country for progress based on the name and slogan. This year had been named year of knowledge-based production and job creation” and we have seen incredible rise in production and exports. According to the reports, Iran’s exports have increased by 17.7% in 10 months comparing to the same period last year and economic growth this year has increased. Although the figure is promising but due to high capacities of the country it can increase considerably if it is planned properly.

In August, Russia launched an Iranian satellite into orbit from southern Kazakhstan, just three weeks after President Vladimir Putin and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pledged to work together against the West. The move showed sign of strong determination between the two countries for bolstering the ties.

The remote Khayyam sensing satellite, named after the 11th Century Persian poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam, was launched by a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and entered orbit successfully, Russia’s space agency said.

This is another achievement for the Islamic Revolution as the country is determined to put a satellite in the orbit by itself and it will happen in the near future.

Above all, the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued its peaceful nuclear program despite bully of the West and it seems the West has accepted Iran as a nuclear power for the peaceful purpose.

Of course the country under the leadership of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei is on the right track of progress and prosperity despite the plots of the enemies who want to derail the Islamic Revolution from its right track.

Since the enemies are unable to stop the Islamic Republic of Iran from progress, they have resorted to create rift inside the country and people need to be wise and united against these plots if they want to have a successful country with better livelihood because the enemies every moment seeks to find some pretext to provoke the nation and to create a hurdle in the way of success but each time their plot is foiled under the wise and smart leadership of the Supreme Leader.

Now in March, Iran and Saudi Arabia has signed an agreement to thaw relation and it is good news for the region and Iranians because it once again showed Iran’s power either militarily or diplomatically and this agreement can minimize tension in the region and will help the national economy to improve.

So in the last minutes of the Iranian calendar year 1401, we predict a promising year for 1402 and unity among the nation will be the key factor for any national and even personal prosperity.

We also felicitate the nation and any people in the world who celebrate Nowruz because it is sign of spring and blossom of nature and it can be sign of blossom of the country in all arenas.

The current year, 1400, has witnessed several ups and downs in the world and especially in Iran but what is important is that Iranians are gradually putting behind the problems and entering a new phase of their lives and they expect a better horizon ahead of the country next year.

Several issues had made the country to challenge for survival and the COVID pandemic was one of them which has been almost controlled in the country by wide vaccinations and taking some restrictive measures which helped the number of death toll drops sharply and one can say that this deadly virus is almost under control but not completely.

But the most important event of the year for Iranians and almost the most decisive one was the end of presidency of Hassan Rouhani and election of Hojjatoleslam Seyed Ebrahim Raisi which put an end to eight years of inefficient presidency of Mr. Rouhani. Now the country has a revolutionary president with revolutionary decisions. He goes to the public in case of problems. This is one important property of Mr. Raisi that his predecessor had missed it.

Since the first day Mr. Raisi took office, he has taken measure decisions especially in the economic sector to lower the spiraling inflation and his government has been successful to control the inflation rate and the government is trying hard to lower the rate.

His focus on interaction with neighboring and friendly countries has been very effective in the country’s foreign trade especially when the country is under the cruel sanctions. This focus has encouraged producers and exporters to boost the national economy and with some more efforts the national economy will back on the right track, something which had been derailed during Rouhani’s era. So production and exports are very crucial for the country to overcome the problems.

Of course, the country has witnessed many ups and downs in this year and election of President Raisi has been one of the ups. The country has achieved several successes in the scientific and military sectors. Unveiling different types of drones, weapons, medical production and above all several types of COVID-19 vaccines have been of the major highs of the country this year.

And recently the country could send a satellite into orbit which was the second one of this type and this achievement put the Islamic Republic among the major countries with capability of sending satellite into the orbit.

Of course, the country has faced some lows that earthquakes and floods have been among the main of them which led to the death of hundreds of Iranians.

The Vienna talks have been the dominant topic in the society and even in the world and the talks still continue and nobody can predict the fate of it. Of course, the revolutionary government has announced clearly its conditions and red lines and now it is up to the West whether to accept or not. Mr. Raisi has repeatedly said that the Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes any dialogue with any country based on the mutual respect and Tehran will not accept any bully because the country is in a condition that no one dares to threaten it as we recently witnessed the IRGC’s retaliatory action against Israeli’s intelligence forces in Erbil, Iraq. This response showed that the era of hit-and-run has ended and Iran has enough power to give due response to any hostile act no matter who commits this act.

Now that the New Year is approaching, the government is mainly focused on economic issues to reduce hardship on the people who have been suffering because of mismanagement of the former government. The statistics and figures bespeak this fact that the economic grows has been accelerated and even the IMF and World Bank have predicted better economic growth for the New Year.

Of course, to have a prosperous life one needs hard working and if the nation wants the government to resolve problems, then they also need to cooperate with the government as the proverb says two heads are better than one.

So as the statistics say, we can expect a better and prosperous year ahead regardless of what is the result of the Vienna talks. The government measures for improving the livelihood of the people are something which has enlivened hope among the people especially middle and lower classes.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has set sight on all-out progresses in all fields and improving the livelihood of the people will ignite the engine of the nation and the country to move faster towards success and becoming an economic power beside military power that today it is definitely. Horizon is bright for the Islamic Republic of Iran and it will become brighter if we remain united against enemies.
