Iranian president admits country is ‘seriously lagging behind’
TEHRAN--Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi on Thursday admitted his country is “seriously lagging behind” in many areas and vowed to improve the economy and its COVID response, saying that the current situation “does not befit” the Islamic republic.
He delivered the remarks while chairing the first meeting of his cabinet which was approved by parliament on Wednesday.
Lawmakers accepted one-by-one, 18 out of 19 candidates put forward by the ultra-conservative Raisi for the ministerial posts.
