How Pezeshkian’s Government Kept Iran’s Daily Life Unshaken During the 12‑Day War

According to Saed News, during the intense 12‑day conflict with Israel, President Masoud Pezeshkian and his administration orchestrated a comprehensive, ten‑point response that preserved social stability and national resilience:

  1. Fuel supply management: Faced with surging demand for gasoline, the Oil Ministry swiftly increased distribution and rationed stocks, averting any prolonged shortages.

  2. Safeguarding storage facilities: After deliberate arson attacks on two major fuel depots in Shahran and Shahr-e Rey, emergency reserves were tapped and replacement supplies air‑lifted, nullifying the sabotage.

  3. Refinery crisis response: When precision MAV strikes struck two South Pars refineries, rapid-fire firefighting teams and expedited parts replacement restored full processing capacity within hours.

  4. Cooking‑oil stabilization: A sixfold spike in consumer demand for edible oils was countered by immediate state‑run market interventions, replenishing shelves nationwide.

  5. Strategic imports and reserves: Rice import restrictions were lifted and foreign‑exchange allocations fast‑tracked for essential commodities, while the Agriculture Ministry fortified national granaries.

  6. Water and power restoration: Simultaneous assaults on Tehran’s water mains and electrical grid prompted round‑the‑clock repairs, preserving uninterrupted public utilities.

  7. Currency‑market oversight: The Central Bank’s deft liquidity injections capped the rial’s slump to a mere ten‑percent decline, even extending loan‑forgiveness measures to affected businesses.

  8. Healthcare mobilization: Despite targeted hits on several hospitals, Health Ministry and Red Crescent volunteers evacuated and treated some 5,000 wounded, showcasing exemplary medical logistics.

  9. Diplomatic initiatives: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spearheaded multimodal diplomacy—ranging from road travel to Turkey to shuttle visits across capitals—while Deputy FM Irajchi led delicate ceasefire negotiations.

  10. Presidential field presence: In a rare display of solidarity, President Pezeshkian toured multiple Tehran neighborhoods under fire, reinforcing public morale and embedding himself among citizens.

Collectively, these synchronized measures transformed wartime turbulence into managed crisis, demonstrating that with decisive leadership, robust planning and citizen engagement, even concerted attempts at disruption can be neutralized.
