Khamenei warns Iranians of danger in declining birth rate
Iran’s Supreme Leader has encouraged officials to continue the work of increasing the birth rate, but that is a challenge even in economically prosperous countries.
In a message to the National Population Headquarters, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned about the dangers of a declining birth rate.
In the brief message, Khamenei thanked officials at the headquarters for working to rescue the country “from the terrifying future of an aging population.” Khamenei said that increasing the birth rate, having a younger population, and supporting families is “one of the most important duties of government officials.”
