Progress Made in Addressing Energy Imbalance: Iran's 1st VP

Iran’s first vice president stated that current imbalances in the gas and electricity sectors are solvable with public cooperation noting, “Significant steps have been taken to address these imbalances, and we plan to share updates once the government’s efforts yield final results.”

Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Public Relations Coordination Council of Executive Bodies on Tuesday, Mohammadreza Aref questioned whether the current imbalances in water, electricity, and gas were unique to recent months or inherited from previous years.

“We will face a serious water crisis in the future, and public relations teams must assist in communicating the actions being taken to address these critical challenges,” he said.

Aref emphasized that the support of the public is key to resolving these issues. He reiterated that considerable progress has already been made in tackling gas and electricity imbalances and pledged further updates as solutions are finalized.

He also highlighted the role of public relations in fostering hope by sharing news of development and progress. “The development of the Makoran coast is a priority for the government, and such initiatives should be widely communicated to inspire optimism across society,” Aref added. - Shana
