RNA - Ayatollah Emami Kashani who led this week’s ritual of Friday Prayers in Tehran started his sermon with commemorating the martyrs of the sacred defense (in war with Saddam’s regime in 1980-88), the nuclear scientists assassinated, and especially Martyr Lieutenant General Ali Sayyad Shirazi who was assassinated in Tehran on April 10, 1999.

“When the Leader dubbed the new Iranian year as the year of 'resistance economy', it means that success in economy can lead to success in cultural, political, and social issues,” highlighted the grand cleric.

Touching upon the economic problems of the country, the senior cleric urged the administration to take care of problems like unemployment, and asked all Iranians to be cooperative with the administration to fulfill these goals.

He also touched upon entrepreneurship and added that a country like Iran which has a high rate of educated human recourses, most of the financial support and loans of the banks should be allocated to knowledge-based firms and companies.
