“The Execution of Imam Khomeini Order (EIKO) has selected Lorestan Province as the main target of development and prosperity for two reasons: first, because of the unemployment problem in the province and second, because we believe that we can solve problems of other parts of the country through Lorestan Province,” he added.
Pointing to capabilities, facilities, and capacities of Lorestan Province, Dr. Mokhber stated, “It is a calamity to see unemployment in a region which is unique in Iran in terms of water, soil and capabilities and you can find water only after digging two meters”
Saying that the enemy even before the Islamic Revolution of Iran was seeking for conspiracies, Director of the Execution of Imam Khomeini Order (EIKO) opined, “After establishment of Islamic Republic of Iran System, they continued their conspiracies through imposing an 8-year war, supporting sâzmân-e mojâhedīn-e khalq-e īrân, MEK, though they always been failed because of leadership of the Late Imam Khomeini and our Leader.”
Stressing the fact that within 40 years of the Islamic Revolution’s lifetime, so many great jobs have been done in the country, Director of the Execution of Imam Khomeini Order (EIKO) said, “All villages devoid of water before the Revolution have been supplied by the piped water, also today the healthcare and sanitary condition of the country is incomparable with it before the Revolution; as before the Revolution about half newborns who used to born in villages would lose their life and in 120 newborns would die out of any 1000 newborns who used to born in our cities.”
“In 1977, although Iran used to sell 5 million oil barrels per day, according to the World Bank report, about 46 percent of Iran’s 30-million population used to live under the poverty line, but today our population is 85 million people and only 9.5 percent of them suffer from livelihood problems,” he explained.
Comparing job generation facilitators with the young commanders of Iran-Iraq War, Dr. Mokhber said, “Delfan is one of the regions for which we have considered special considerations, and we hope to be able to convert it into a successful and exemplary region of the Resistive Economy.”
