Iran's Interior Ministry announced on Saturday that schools and universities across the country will reopen this week, along with plans to strengthen national cohesion, ensuring the supply of essential goods, and support post-war reconstruction.
Speaking at a press briefing in Tehran, Deputy Interior Minister for Political Affairs and ministry spokesperson Ali Zeynivand emphasized that maintaining national cohesion remains among the ministry's top priorities as the country deals with the aftermath of the recent U.S.-Iran conflict.
Zeynivand admitted that Iran is facing what he described as a complex war, but said Tehran continues to view diplomacy as a means to end the conflict.
On the supply of essential goods, Zeynivand said that while prices in the country have risen, supplies remain abundant and there are no major shortages.
"Iran, with all its capacities and its land and maritime borders, cannot be blockaded. How do they intend to blockade it?" Zeynivand told China Global Television Network (CGTN) after the briefing.
He said around 75,000 housing units across the country have been damaged, and the government is closely following reconstruction efforts.
Zeynivand described Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni's recent visit to Türkiye as successful, saying the talks focused on security and border cooperation. He said the two sides also agreed to activate two new border crossings between the countries.
