Mehdi Arab Sadegh / Senior Expert in Energy Diplomacy: Mr. Yaminpour, do you know our Iran?!

At least think for 4 minutes before prescribing 4 hours of light for the people! Mr. Yamini Pour, do you know Iran?

Unfortunately, we are caught in a situation where the economy has become politicized, not just politically influenced, but politicians who do not envision a clear future for Iran are prescribing darkness for this noble, dignified, and insightful nation!

How can Mr. Yamini Pour prescribe darkness for the nation when he lacks a clear understanding of energy issues? How can he threaten the nation’s light and intimidate them when he has no grasp of basic and fundamental geopolitical concepts? He is an extension of those who have led the country to decline!

My dear brother and his like-minded colleagues must be familiar with a country called Iran and the greatness of this nation! Do they know that we are a country that possesses nearly 7% of the world's resources but only has 1% of the world’s population? How can he blame this 1% that, instead of benefiting from 7%, most are deprived of basic necessities?

Does he realize that the rightful claim of a country that is the second-largest holder of gas reserves is not to suffer from electricity and gas imbalances?!

Mr. Yamini Pour and his colleagues know that we are a country with 17% of gas resources and an extraction rate of about 3%? Do they understand that today’s power outages are the result of a 30% gas imbalance? Does he know our land and maritime borders?! Do you recognize our forgotten geopolitical opportunities, Mr. Yamini Pour?

Does he know that Iran is at the crossroads of important energy corridors and has almost zero benefit from swaps and transit? They must know that in recent governments, there are politicians like him whose productivity rate concerning resources approaches zero!

Mr. Yamini Pour either does not know Iran or Lebanon, or perhaps they want to Lebanonize Iran in their political roadmap! They must understand that Lebanon's dominance over the Mediterranean is not even one-tenth of Iran’s dominance over the Persian Gulf and access to energy resources!

Surely he is unaware of the political instability and international challenges faced by Lebanon! And undoubtedly, they know that a significant part of this 4 hours of light in Lebanon is the result of our country's correct assistance, which indeed has security benefits and is a necessity of the ideological framework of the Islamic Revolution.

Mr. Yamini Pour! The people of Iran will not go back!
