Iran has begun to take economic measures in response to the intensification of attacks from the US and Israel. The Tehran administration has decided to indefinitely suspend the export of all food and agricultural products in order to ensure supply security in the domestic market. It is stated that the decision was made to prevent potential shortages and price increases of essential consumer goods under wartime conditions.

The Iranian government has taken a notable economic step following mutual attacks with the US and Israel. Tehran announced that it has suspended the export of all food and agricultural products until further notice as part of war measures.

"BASIC NEEDS ARE OUR PRIORITY"

An unnamed Iranian official stated in an announcement to state media, "The export of all food and agricultural products has been banned until the next announcement. The government has prioritized meeting the basic needs of the people."

It was noted that the decision aims to protect the domestic market against increasing military tensions and potential supply chain issues.

STEP TOWARDS A WAR ECONOMY

Experts assess that this decision indicates Iran's effective transition to "war economy" practices. With the export ban, the goal is to secure food supply in the domestic market and prevent price increases.
