He said on Monday that a report will soon be released by the relevant authorities identifying those who attempted to exploit legitimate public demonstrations for unrest.
The official discussed the government’s livelihood and food security program, describing it as the result of months of coordinated work. Under the initiative, subsidies for essential goods will be delivered directly to citizens, with monthly payments for the next four months, he added.
Water Rights
Aref also highlighted the government’s diplomatic efforts with neighboring countries to secure Iran’s water rights.
The Iranian authorities are negotiating to ensure allocation of water shares from border rivers and exploring opportunities to transfer water beyond Iran’s borders, he said.
On public participation, the first vice president noted that water belongs to the people; therefore, involving citizens and the private sector in major water projects is essential for success.
