According to a report by Anadolu Agency on Sunday September 6, 2026, Iran’s Economy Ministry has created an “economic war headquarters” aimed at coordinating and speeding up government efforts to tackle economic challenges linked to wartime conditions, Deputy Economy Minister Morteza Zamanian said Sunday.
Speaking to the Tasnim news agency, Zamanian said the newly established body would initially deal with economic matters that fall directly within the ministry’s legal responsibilities and powers.
According to him, the headquarters will work to provide rapid solutions to difficulties caused by the conflict, particularly problems affecting businesses, commercial activities, financing and other key areas of the economy.
Zamanian explained that when an issue goes beyond the ministry’s authority, officials would rely on their wider role in national economic policymaking. This would include working through the government’s economic commission and other economic headquarters to bring relevant institutions together and seek decisions at a higher level.
He said the central purpose of the new mechanism is to identify economic disruptions created by wartime conditions and develop practical measures to address them.
The deputy minister also said the initiative was designed to prevent problems involving several government bodies from being delayed because of administrative procedures and bureaucratic obstacles.
Among the measures being considered are tax and customs assistance, improved banking access and financial tools intended to help companies and businesses that have been affected by the conflict.
The establishment of the headquarters comes as Iran remains caught up in an ongoing conflict that began after the United States and Israel launched strikes against the country in February. Iran subsequently responded with retaliatory attacks targeting US positions in several parts of the region.
In June, Iran and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding through mediation by Pakistan and Qatar. The agreement outlined measures intended to help end hostilities, facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and address restrictions affecting Iran’s economy.
However, Tehran has accused Washington of failing to honor its commitments under the memorandum, particularly promises involving sanctions relief and the unfreezing of Iranian assets held abroad.
The US has rejected those accusations and instead claims Iran has failed to fulfill its own obligations. Washington has continued imposing economic pressure on Tehran, saying its sanctions are designed to limit revenue and financial networks that allegedly support Iran’s military and regional activities.
