Following a recent conflict with Israel that resulted in over 1,000 deaths in Iran and 29 in Israel, Iran has taken several significant steps to address its security and economic challenges. The Iranian Supreme National Security Council announced the establishment of a National Defense Council, chaired by the president and including military leaders and relevant ministers. This council is tasked with centrally studying defense plans and enhancing the military capabilities of the armed forces. Concurrently, Iran is implementing an economic overhaul by removing four zeros from its national currency, the rial, in response to severe inflation, a sharply devalued currency, and the ongoing impact of international sanctions. Additionally, Iran has expelled approximately one million Afghan refugees, accusing them of espionage for Israel.
