The Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, with a veiled warning about the economic conditions in Iranian society, said: "No matter how much military power we have, if the people are hungry and we lack financial circulation, economic growth, and national production, we will not survive."

Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, in remarks made on Friday, August 30, in Iraq to individuals identified as "economic activists of Iran and Iraq," described the new U.S. government's decisions to impose severe economic sanctions against Iran as "oppressive," stating: "We must plan to overcome them so that we can prevail over them."

Qalibaf, who was the head of the Iranian negotiating team with the U.S. after the recent war, called for the use of the national currencies of Iran and Iraq in trade exchanges between the two countries, saying: "We can strike at the heart of the U.S. dollar."
