The rules of the game in the war against Iran have changed before it is too late.
Qalibaf said Iran’s struggle extended beyond the military front. The country’s main battle was now also about production and people’s livelihoods, he said, pointing to sharp currency fluctuations, inflation, unemployment and the management of markets as major challenges.

From now on, any attack against Iran’s interests and security will receive a faster, heavier and more painful response.
