Iran’s Supreme Leader’s son, Mojtaba Khamenei, says Iran’s economy and “social cohesion” face serious challenges, according to reporting that highlights growing strain as U.S. pressure increases. He calls for attention to inflation, unemployment, price management, and the availability of goods and services.

The commentary centers on how economic conditions affect public stability as sanctions and external pressure continue. One outlet emphasizes that officials must address “chain” problems tied to livelihoods and market performance. The reports present his remarks as part of broader internal debate over how to manage economic hardship under heightened external constraints, without detailing specific policy measures or timelines.
