During a virtual meeting with members of Hassan Rouhani’s Cabinet, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reminded members of the administration that they have one full year left and to not let it go to waste. He asked the administration to issue reports on what they were able to achieve and what they failed to achieve so that people can judge for themselves the accomplishments of the administration.

In the administration’s final year, Khamenei urged them to fulfill the promise of building 600,000 homes and reforming problems with the budget, the banking system and the tax system.
