Khamenei calls for 'economic jihad' against adversaries as Iran's own economy falters

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has called on the country to practice "economic jihad" to "frustrate and defeat" Iran's enemies. He urged Iranians to prioritise made-in-Iran goods and called on businesses to minimise layoffs. Iran's economy has been severely hit as inflation recently crossed 50%, and its currency, the rial, hit a record low against the US dollar.
