Iran's parliament speaker Mohammed Bagher Kalibaf warned that military strength alone is not enough to guarantee the survival of the Islamic Republic if people go hungry and the economy cannot grow. “No matter how strong our military strength is, if the people are hungry and lack capital circulation, economic growth, and domestic production, the country will be unsustainable.” On Thursday, Kalibaf made the above statement during a meeting with business people from Iran and Iran at the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad. Kalibaf said that economic stability and security are inseparable, and a malfunctioning economy will not be able to support military security.
