According to the news headquarter of the second national, cultural, and art festival of “Made in Iran”, Pirouz Hanachi, mayor of Tehran, expressed on the closing ceremony of the second national, cultural, and art festival of “Made in Iran”: holding this opportunity led to the formation of a chance to turn threats into opportunities in the current situation of Iran that involves sanctions against the country by its enemies.

The mayor of Tehran continued: creating valuable opportunities from the most difficult barriers is the most important experience that can be gained. Those who claim a global power for themselves used this point in the past. After the victory of Islamic revolution of Iran, our enemies used the lack of internal unity of the country to initiate the imposed ward.

According to Hanachi, the national festival of “Made in Iran” has prioritized re-focusing on Iranian businesses and products. In this regard, he asserted: after the Islamic revolution and with the leadership of Imam Khomeini, various threats against the country were turned into opportunities. Regardless of violence faced during war, the Iran-Iraq war increased the self-confidence of our youth and led Iran to stand on its feet, in a way that today, no one can attack Iran.

The mayor of Tehran also claimed: in today’s condition of Iran, we cannot do much in a short period. However, threats can be turned into an opportunity and having an economic view can provide the possibility of development of support of domestic products, knowledge-based companies and startups. This opportunity created must be maximally used by relying on our domestic power.
