Focus on domestic policy and economic development in Iran

During Wednesday, June 18, 2026, media outlets in Iran reported on a series of moves being promoted by President Masoud Pezeshkian. According to Khabarfoori, Akharin Khabar, and IRNA News Agency, Pezeshkian emphasized in a meeting with the management of the Vice President for Science and Technology that "the country's development will be achieved through creative experts who take risks, and not through administrative routine."

The President set strategic tasks for his administration, with an emphasis on investing in "new technologies and elite human capital" to ensure the future of the Iranian economy. According to a report by the IRNA news agency, the new tasks focus on the fields of artificial intelligence, clean (renewable) energy, technological commercialization, and retaining experts within the country.

At the same time, the administration has been involved in strengthening cultural heritage. IRNA Agency quoted the Assistant to the President for Social Affairs, who noted that "Dr. Pezeshkian has intervened personally in the field of cultural heritage." According to the report, the goal is to drive a process of renewal in the areas of tourism and heritage, which the authorities claim will assist in restoring jobs and will directly influence "national security" and raise the level of hope in society.

It should be noted that the reports come from official sources and those close to the regime in Iran, which present a narrative of governmental action and structural reform in the fields of technology and culture, without presenting external or opposition criticism of these moves.
